MACE FAMILY HISTORY PROJECT

<p><br></p><p>When the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in Washington DC a few years ago Dr. Lonnie G. Bunch said the goal of this Museum is to make sure that people see that the African American experience is not an ancillary story but it's really the central story of the American experience. </p><p><br></p><p>The Mace Family History Project is all about remembering our story not an ancillary story but the central story of the American experience. And when we remember it we cannot help but be grateful. Maybe that is why the writer of Deuteronomy told the Hebrew people to remember your ancestor who was a wandering Aramean. Remembering our story and the story of our ancestors and we are so grateful! We stand on their shoulders! We are because they were! -Alvin O'Neal Jackson</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
