The Kent Black Action Commission (KBAC) is committed to not only advocacy and civic engagement but also to preserving and passing on African American history through its new Legacy Project. As part of its mission to create and maintain a lasting legacy, KBAC has launched an initiative that highlights the stories and contributions of key civil rights leaders, ensuring their impact is remembered and shared with future generations.
At the heart of this initiative are interviews with prominent civil rights leaders, including Mr. Alex Jones, Mr. Eddie Rye, and others who have played pivotal roles in the fight for justice and equality. These interviews are being captured through digital storytelling, a powerful medium that allows KBAC to preserve these important narratives in a format that is accessible to audiences today and in the future.
In partnership with Channel A TV Studios, where the interviews are filmed, KBAC is utilizing its community resources to bring these stories to life. The digital storytelling series will serve as a living archive of African American history, where viewers can hear directly from those who fought on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement and continue to advocate for change.
“This Legacy Project is not just about remembering the past—it’s about connecting history to the present and ensuring that these stories of struggle, triumph, and resilience are passed on to the next generation,” said [Insert Name], a KBAC representative. “By preserving these stories digitally, we are ensuring that the legacy of these leaders endures and continues to inspire.”
The project also aims to educate the broader community about the significant contributions African Americans have made, both locally and nationally, and to spark conversations around ongoing social justice issues. Through the digital format, KBAC hopes to reach a wide audience, from students learning about civil rights to community members looking to deepen their understanding of African American history.
As KBAC continues to interview more leaders and activists, the Legacy Project will grow, becoming an invaluable resource for the community and a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have fought for equality. With this project, KBAC is not just documenting history—they are making sure it lives on for generations to come.
