"CELEBRATING OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE IN WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA"
-Marlene lindsey, president and founder
Welcome to the Black Legacy Project, a space dedicated to honoring and celebrating the rich history, resilience, and contributions of Black communities throughout time. Our mission is to preserve the stories, voices, and experiences that have shaped the world in profound ways, ensuring that the legacies of those who came before us continue to inspire and empower future generations. Through education, storytelling, and reflection, we strive to uplift the narratives that have often been overlooked, highlighting the strength, creativity, and perseverance that define the Black experience. Join us in this journey of remembrance, recognition, and celebration.
"This project starts in the heart of Wayne County, in Richmond, Indiana—a place with a rich Black history. Home to one of the oldest African American communities in the state, Richmond has long been a hub for Black culture, activism, and achievement. From the contributions of local leaders to the historic Underground Railroad stations, the town’s legacy continues to inspire change and progress."
