We are a collective of Black voices committed to bringing to the forefront the voices of the African American slaves. It's their prolonged suffering, sacrifices and contributions in building America that must be included in American History. Throughout every historical society and public and private school system, African American History must be taught.
If you are passionate about what we're doing, please let us know! We need your support in getting our books and documentary series, "HEAR MY VOICE - Born Black In America" in schools and aired on television networks.
