The Times-News of Burlington just recently included the work of the Power + Place Collaborative, a collaboration in between Elon, the African American Cultural Arts and History Center and the Mayco Bigelow Center that makes every effort to maintain and present stories from and about individuals, locations and minutes of Alamance County’s Black neighborhoods.
Through the collaboration, partners have actually digitally tape-recorded the narrative histories of more than 40 individuals, Danielle Lake, director of Elon’s Center for Design Thinking, shown Times-News press reporter Robby Nelms. The objective is to help make sure future generations can gain from the experiences of those who came prior to them.
“We need to let these stories be heard and live on. We don’t want them to be lost,” Lake informed Nelms. “These are stories of leadership, love, activism, connectivity, engagement and belonging. They belong to everyone.”
Lake shared that this summer season, the collective was granted a $10,500 grant from Impact Alamance that will permit the efforts to broaden. Those prepares require a job that will include interviews concentrated on differing spiritual practices, faiths, customs, spiritual neighborhoods and leaders.
