Morgan T. Lloyd

Morgan Lloyd is an award-winning public historian, nonprofit founder, educator, and curator based in Lenapehoking (The Greater Philadelphia Area), where her work celebrates genealogy and the power of natural curiosity. Driven by a deep commitment to reframing Western Black and Brown histories, Morgan advocates for a holistic approach that elevates nuance, curiosity, Indigeneity, descendants, and community.

Through her guiding philosophy, "Ordinary Extraordinary," she lovingly honors the often-overlooked beauty of ancestors in traditional historiographies, revealing the profound impact of everyday people and their extraordinary legacies.

In her work across archives, the arts, public programs, and lectures—most notably as Co-founder and President of the National Park Network site, 1838 Black Metropolis—Morgan Lloyd emphasizes that uncovering lost and forgotten histories can be both accessible and inspiring.

Her efforts empower everyone to continuously honor and uplift those who lived within the contexts of the past.
