Their film “Bought” and the recent project “Gateway to the Empire” are excellent examples of storytelling that connects the past to the present. The upcoming screenings during Black History Month are a great opportunity to engage with these important narratives. Don’t miss the Hidden History Walk, which promises to be both educational and inspiring. How can we further support initiatives that explore and preserve these historical stories?

However, I wonder how the use of cookies ties into the mission of preserving and sharing history—is it purely for site functionality, or does it also support these projects in some way? Overall, it’s inspiring to see such dedication to uncovering and sharing these important narratives. What can we, as the audience, do to further support these initiatives?
