About <strong>The</strong> <strong>History</strong><strong>Makers</strong>:<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>History</strong><strong>Makers</strong> is a national 501 (c)(3) nonprofi t educational institution founded in 1999, committed to<br />

preserving, developing and providing easy access to an internationally recognized, archival collection of thousands<br />

of African American video oral histories. Designed to promote and celebrate the successes and to document<br />

movements, events and organizations that are important to African American society, <strong>The</strong> <strong>History</strong><strong>Makers</strong><br />

is sharing its collection through <strong>The</strong> <strong>History</strong><strong>Makers</strong> Education Institute and through <strong>The</strong> <strong>History</strong><strong>Makers</strong><br />

Speakers Bureau, live public programs and its interactive website, www.thehistorymakers.com. Plans are<br />

underway for the establishment of a unique digital archive that will provide access to more than 30,000 hours<br />

of content in a format that is searchable by image and text. <strong>The</strong> purpose of this archive is to educate; to show<br />

the breadth and depth of this important American history as told in the fi rst person; to highlight the accomplishments<br />

of individual African Americans across a variety of disciplines; to showcase those who have played a role<br />

in African American-led movements and/or organizations; and to preserve these video oral histories for years<br />

and generations to come, creating a priceless collection and helping to refashion a more inclusive record of<br />

American history.<br />
