AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY Despite the immense challenges, some enslaved individuals secretly risked their lives to create schools and educate others during slavery. Their unwavering commitment to knowledge and empowerment is truly inspiring. 📚

The women of the Howard family have received limited attention compared to their male counterparts, despite their often exceptional lives. Our archive holds some documents for many of the Norfolk/Arundel wives dating back to the 15thC.
