Partner with Us !
In a nation marked by racial unrest and division, we are re-imagining a world where the legacies of slavery are history!
We provide building blocks for communities committed to racial healing, reconciliation and justice. It is only fitting that we start at the root of our nation -- Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown, Virginia.
We are committed to working collaboratively with community partners to create the infrastructure for safe and welcoming places for people to heal and thrive.
