Help Empower Inner-City Teens to Celebrate Black History and Legacy

We are excited to share a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our inner-city teens to travel from Richmond, VA, to Ohio, retracing the steps of John T. Ward in his journey to freedom in 1827. As part of the upcoming Legacy & Liberty book launch event on June 21st, 2025, these amazing young individuals will perform their Black History music at this historic celebration.

The book, The Bequest of John T. Ward: Uncovering a Hidden Legacy in Black American History, Exploring Stories of Antebellum Resistance, is a groundbreaking work that honors the legacy of John T. Ward and others who fought for freedom. The event will also showcase the resilience and strength of our ancestors, from John T. Ward to Thomas Jennings, Sojourner Truth, O.W. Gurley, Josephine Baker, and David Ruggles.

These teens, whose voices shine through their passion for history and music, will perform a powerful song called Black Resilience, celebrating the lives of these trailblazers and ensuring their legacies are never forgotten. This trip is an opportunity for our youth to experience firsthand the power of history and its impact on our future.

We need your support to make this happen. Funds raised will cover the entire trip, including gas, food, and lodging for two days. Your generosity will provide these teens with a transformative experience that will empower them for the rest of their lives.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to help us bring these young voices to Ohio, where they will contribute to the ongoing journey of Black History and legacy. Let's work together to ensure their resilience shines through.
