We view the pursuit of history not just as an educational practice but an overall portal to shifting the internal narrative of how Black people see themselves, their journey, the wealth of liberation and freedom of choice.

 

We see Black people’s relationship to their history as the vehicle to achieve Black liberation.  To thrive, people need a relationship with freedom that is joyful and honors their past.  Black people and their ancestors have been critical to this country’s prosperity; however, the impact of systemic inequities have continued to create barriers for Black people to connect with a history that is empowering, joyful and honors the power in their lineage. 

 

We believe that if we shift our relationship with past and false narratives of our ability, creativity, wealth ceilings and access to freedom—we will create a generation of Black people who will expand their visions and change the trajectory of possibilities for the Black community.
