Have you heard these myths about African American heritage preservation?
First, it’s believed that only national figures are celebrated, not local heroes. Second, some think that African American history is not relevant to younger generations. Lastly, there’s a misconception that there are limited ways to get involved in preserving black heritage. In this segment, our guest, Dustin Cravins from the African American Heritage Foundation, will reveal the truth behind these myths.
