2025: Reclaiming Our Story & Heritage

“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a  tree without roots” - Marcus Garvey

This Black History Month, our theme focuses on reclamation. During this time on these shores, so much of our legacy has been stolen, rebranded, repackaged and restricted. In all things we must begin the process of Reclaiming Our Story & Heritage. From the motherland to 581 Parker Avenue, Decatur GA - it matters that we know WHO we are and WHOSE we are.
