Our Team

ATBHK has a mission; we work to ensure that the voices, stories, and historical experiences of Black Kentuckians are elevated and shared. We honor the work of Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black history, as we work to support educators in providing the most robust analysis of the social sciences for our students- and this must include Black history.
