“History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history.” — James Baldwin
FRIENDS OF BLACK HISTORY
Black history is living history. Friends of Black History is a growing community of people who believe these stories must be preserved, performed, taught, discussed, and carried forward.
BECOME A FRIEND
Beginning at $10 a month, Friends help In Living Colored build a lasting cultural institution rooted in storytelling, education, and conversation.
WHAT FRIENDS MAKE POSSIBLE
Your participation strengthens theatrical productions, dramatic-arts education, youth programs, podcast conversations, original media, public events, and the development of new Black-history works.
THE FIRST 50 FRIENDS
We are beginning with a founding circle of fifty people who want to help establish this work from the ground up. Every Friend becomes part of the story we are building together.
WHY IT MATTERS
When communities sustain their own stories, history remains visible. Young people encounter voices that broaden their understanding. Artists receive room to create. Audiences gain places for honest conversation.
