To highlight African American stories and legacies and make visible those who have contributed to Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley local history.
OUR VISION
To document and preserve historical information integral to Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley African American community through an online digital archive available for research and exploration.
OUR GOAL
African American history IS American history.
Sites exist about the global Black presence but none for the history of Lehigh Valley Blacks and their contributions.
Our goal is to compile reliable information about these underrepresented Lehigh Valley Black individuals and make it available in various educational formats for students and those interested in our history.
