Join us for this year’s Annual Meeting!
CHS members will gather at 6:30pm to review highlights from the past year and preview our goals for 2026. Following the meeting at 7pm, the public is invited to a special program presented by Shanna Ward.
A Columbus native and fifth-generation descendant of abolitionist John T. Ward, Shanna is the author of The Bequest of John T. Ward. Her book brings to life the remarkable journey of her ancestor from enslavement to becoming a conductor on the Underground Railroad, a political organizer, a passionate abolitionist, and the patriarch of the family that founded E.E. Ward Moving & Storage Company, the oldest continuously operating African American-owned business in the United States.
Refreshments will be served!
Tickets are free, and the program is open to all, but reservations are required by November 30th.
We hope to see you there!
