remembering charles brewer

I'm sorry to have to share that Charles Brewer died on 10 May 2017.  Charles was an amazing, painstaking and careful researcher, historian and genealogist. His interests were broad. He was especially committed to researching Frederick Douglass and the Civil War.  He was a member of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.

Friends and colleagues will remember that he was always working on multiple projects, and always researching at Washingtoniana and the National Archives.

and his great, hearty laugh.
