Heritage Works

Owning land and cultivating livestock is one of the oldest forms of true independence and wealth building our community has ever known. The Robinson family has kept this beautiful 200-acre cattle ranch entirely in their name since the late 1940s, surviving every economic shift along the way. Today, young Elijah is learning the daily grit required to take the reins when his time comes. Share this to celebrate black excellence in agriculture and land legacy!

The last day of dance and drum workshops at the African World Festival (Hart Plaza. Detroit MI) begins today at 11 AM. The incomparable Ayo Alston will provide a Dunun dance workshop this evening at 6:30 PM. Bring your own drum (BYOD) and drumsticks! We brought a few extra everything yesterday and quickly maxed out.
