We will create our own family tree and discuss how Each chapter of Homegoing follows a different descendant of Maame.
While the novel ends after 14 chapters and seven generations, we must endeavor to know our history, the history of our families, and that of our ancestors as a means to understand who we are.
Dwight Branch is the oldest of the branches, established in 1907 when it was opened in the South School District Building. It was established at the request of the public and named in honor of Henry C. Dwight who was chairman of the district committee and instrumental in leading the effort. In April 1979, the Branch was relocated to the new Parkville Elementary School at 7 New Park Avenue.
