Louisiana Series
The history preserved here is not a museum exhibit. It is a living record with direct implications for how we understand civic participation, community power, and the work that remains.
Black History Every Month
A 90-minute course that reframes Black American history as a year-round practice, not a February obligation. The Political Leadership Overlay data is woven throughout.
Know Your Roots, Know Your Rights
Your family's history is connected to laws, policies, and legal systems that shaped where they lived, how they worked, and what they were allowed to own. This self-paced course bridges genealogy and advocacy.
Know Your Power: Civic Advocacy for Black Women
Understanding who held power where your ancestors lived is itself an act of advocacy. From Reconstruction to redistricting.
