”History isn't just something that happened in the past. We live in and create our history everyday. The past and present are intertwined, and we are our ancestors legacies. We must feel empowered to promote and preserve our stories for future generations to come.”

- Kenetha Harrington

” I feel we all hold a right and a duty to preserve legacies and foundations of our communities. We do that by sharing stories, breaking bread, civic engagement and service to our fellow human beings. Our organization represents the type of productive work that must be done in our community to maintain and grow our legacies.”
