Our Mission

Preserve our legacy

Black history is more than a collection of dates and events—it is the story of resilience, culture, and contributions that have shaped the world. However, much of this history is at risk of being lost, erased, or misrepresented.

Digitize and Preserve

We're using advanced technology to digitize and preserve historical documents, photographs, and artifacts for future generations.

Restore and Protect

We work to restore and protect historical landmarks and sites significant to Black history across the country.

Educate and Empower

We develop educational programs and resources to ensure Black history is accurately taught and integrated into mainstream education.
