'10 Million Names': Learn more about the history of enslaved people of African descent, freedom colonies

For many Black Americans, tracing one’s family roots back more than 150 years has been nearly impossible due to a lack of adequate data and documentation from the slavery period. Now, a team of researchers, genealogists and scholars are working together to recover and restore this lost history, which is American history. ABC News is the exclusive media partner of the historic 10 Million Names Project, an ambitious moon shot initiative that aims to recover the names of the 10 million people of African descent who were enslaved before 1865 in the present-day United States.
