Black History lives in Jonesboro, Arkansas — and so does MY family’s legacy.
Five years ago, I visited the Black History Museum in Jonesboro, a sacred space preserving the stories, artifacts, and contributions of Black families — including MY OWN — who helped build this community and shape Black American history.

Black history is American history.
