We are search for any material or information that will help connect the dots. We are interested in pictures, postcards, newspapers and other periodicals, which will help us, better understand, how and when African Americans first migrated to northwest Ohio.

For instance, you may have an old check stub, which shows where you grandfather worked, or an old stub of a train ticket or an old train schedule that helps us determine when and how you family arrived here in northwest Ohio.

We love photographs of all kinds. Photographs are great representations of where a community, family, business, even a church may be in their individual history at a particular place in time.

Many people have kept old newspaper clippings; these are wonderful tools that usually identifies about a specific event, date, time and place

100 Grandmothers

Grandmothers are often the moral barometers of a family. They are spiritual, and inspirational leaders and quite often are the single person whom each family member seeks council and entrusts their deepest secrets. In our own experience, grandmothers are the heartbeat of the African American culture.

Need: It is critically important for the African American community to begin to find develop mechanisms to begin to resurrect, reclaim, and recover core community values and there is a need to assemble and deliver a cadre of respected voices to impact the current community landscape.

100 Grandmothers will speak to community about those things that youth and others will have an opportunity to be exposed to traditions that historically aided in producing better citizens.

If you would like to be interviewed or know that special grandmother that we should interview please email us at: info@africanamericanlegacy.org; or call us at 419-720-4369
