Discover who we are
We’re a multi-racial group of people who came together around a common mission: to shine the light of truth on our community’s history.
​
Most of us are not professional historians or academics, but rather people who believe that learning a more inclusive local history is necessary in order to create a better, more equitable community.
Facing the truth of our history allows us to move forward together.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
-- James Baldwin
