Starting point

Black people have reached a point of deep fatigue with the distortions, half-truths, and omissions that continue to shape how our history is told. There is a wealth of credible, evidence-based information available that must be passed on to our young people, to our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I think by doing so, they can grow up grounded in a clear understanding of who they are and where they come from. In this way, we can begin to address one of the most damaging legacies faced by people of African heritage: the loss of historical memory.
