We are passionate, culturally-driven historians, community advocates, educators and concerned citizens, many of whom have grown up on the East side of Wilmington and attribute much of our personal successes to the knowledge and admiration of those that came before us.

​

Too often our public school curricula has omitted the contributions and triumphs that African Americans  have traversed on their way to achieving the American Dream.  We believe that our local African American history can become a catalyst for emulation and empowerment for our community today and for generations to come!
