“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” — Marcus Garvey
I’ve always been interested in history but particular fascinated by African-American history. The African American experience and the stories past down from generation to generation is pretty remarkable. However, as a member of the Caribbean diaspora I often feel as if our history is not as well documented in the “public space.” The inspiration behind this website is to create a space were the rich oral history of the Valcourt family in Haiti can have a home and be more easily shared and past down to future generations.
