The staff of MAAGI expresses appreciation and gratitude to founding director Charles Brown Jr., who helped to get the institute launched ​and on solid ground.  

Mr. Brown's belief in the concept of MAAGI, and his work with Harris-Stowe State University helped to put MAAGI squarely on the national genealogical landscape.

His service to the institute is appreciated and we thank him, for all he has done, as MAAGI moves in new directions. And after 5 consecutive years of the institute MAAGI is here to stay and has taken its place in the genealogy community. 

Thanks to Mr. Charles Brown Jr., MAAGI, is here! For that we are grateful!
