It is in the complete discovery of a thing that understanding is found.  So it is with the history of any people, society, or nation. None can be boiled down to a few stories or occurrences to encapsulate an entire people much less a civilization which spans multiple continents. 

We intend to discover the full history of the people of African decent in this country that can be known. We aspire to ignite the flame of curiosity within the young and young at heart to discover yet more than we now know.  We will ensure that African American history is told and not forgotten; not forgotten and thus not lost.
