The reason OUR HISTORY IS SO IMPORTANT: The more I learn about my family history, my ancestors, who they were as beautifully flawed human beings, through the stories handed down, their community initiatives, career choices, medals of honor, milItary records, newspaper clippings, entrepreneurial endeavors, creative talents and loving human spirit THE MORE I SEE AND UNDERSTAND MYSELF AND THE POWER I HOLD WITHIN ME.

Through our Art and Creativity we are artists building new worlds, new pathways, new infrastructures, writing new songs, writing new books, new theatre productions, new curriculum, new schools, to tell and teach the old and new stories.
