Focus on the heritage of Blacks from their origin through the Middle passage, the
salvation the Underground Railroad provided, the struggle for civil rights, and their
accomplishments in the United States and African Diaspora;
Bridge the information gap and inform all ethnic groups about the advantages of cross-
cultural communication and diversity, as expressed through history, the arts and the
humanities;
​
Highlight the heritage of the African American families for whom Montgomery County is
home; and
