Douglass and Gaylon Hoskins’fervent dream and vision– to restore the original Banneker School-the pinnacle of education for children of freed enslaved ancestors after the Civil War\, and to preserve historic Washington Chapel CME Church\, built in 1907\, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. \nMs. Sandra Lamb’s presentation\, “The Hidden History of the Black West”\, will highlight Black men and women whose labor\, skill\, talent\, and courage helped define western life. Their stories reshape our understanding of the West and reinforce a simple truth: Black history is American history.  “Popular images of the Wild West\, she shares\,  rarely reflect who was truly there”. \nNot only are GKCBHSG members continuously learning Black History\, but we are researching\, preserving\, teaching\, and making history in our respective communities.  These topics are bound to generate much discussion.  Engage with us as we continue our efforts to educate the Kansas City community about Black life\, history\, and culture in the face of ongoing efforts to erase and suppress Black history. \nFor more information\, contact kcblackhistory2@gmail.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
