Lincoln Park
Black Archives

Knowledge of local history is just as important as knowledge of national history; because at home or in the local area, residents can experience the accounts of history being made first hand.  African Americans must continue and strive everyday to educate, inform, and inspire the youth to learn of the history of its ancestors everyday of the year.
