Share Your Story (Oral History)
Every story matters. Currently, we are collecting stories from community members and descendants of Black Bottom and Paradise Valley as part of our Sankofa Community Research Project. Share your memories with us and help us keep this history alive for future generations. All storytellers will receive a $100 gift card as a token of appreciation – we’d love to hear from you.
