"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots." Marcus Garvey.
The Timeline helps us to use history to inform and validate. But we lead with heritage to connect and inspire. Heritage is experienced, shared, remembered, and actively shaped by communities.
Our story is about the context of the factual event, place, or person. We intend to continuously, unbiasedly curate and add to this timeline as new information comes to our attention. I would greatly appreciate your input. Before timeline additions are made, public submissions must undergo a review process overseen by historians. Join our email list and receive the AAHA Journal.
