The HistoryMakers’ 20@2020 Campaign (Pledge)

We need your support

In 2020, our organization will turn 20 years old. We are at a significantly important crossroads. At stake is the continued existence of The HistoryMakers and its large-scale mission. Public knowledge of the historical contributions of African Americans is largely limited, and this narrow view of African American achievement is a disservice to not only African Americans, but all Americans and the world. We need your support.

Given the 21st century’s increasing political tensions and loss of civility and how these events (police brutality, massive incarceration, and economic inequality) counter the progress made during the 20th century Civil Rights Movement, The HistoryMakers archives provide real-life counter narratives to some of the most contentious issues of today (the divisive 2016 presidential election, the birth and vilification of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, campus occupations, protests). They also provide important role models, success frameworks/pathways, inspiration and sources for racial understanding and tolerance across socio-economic, racial and ethnic lines to educate others. With an “inside look” into the past and the present, the ignorance and prejudice prevalent in today’s society can be combatted with exposure to African American excellence and its relationship to American culture and progress.
