Description
To nurture a sense of community and to be a resource for individuals, organizations, and youth. We present information that is local in focus, relevant to our community and easily accessible, and to present this information in a manner which encourages use of the Internet by African Americans in the Washtenaw County. The project seeks to address the problem of the digital divide by providing a site that is locally focused, interactive, and of particular interest to the community. The site provides youth and people of all ages opportunities to become comfortable and involved with the Internet by encouraging community participation.
When you think of the Ann Arbor area, certain images come to mind: the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, football Saturdays, Depot Town, the farmers' market. But for many of us the Ann Arbor area also calls up images of historic Brown Chapel, the NAACP, the annual Debutante Ball, and the Community Center.
In 1984, Lola Jones and Carol Gibson, a mother-daughter team, created a weekly television program to relate the stories of Blacks in this area. From 1984-1995, the program showcased the talents and achievements of local people. Guests on the program included historians A.P. Marshal and Coleman Jewett, former mayor Albert Wheeler, businessmen John Barfield and Jim Bradley, musicians Louis Smith and Ron Brooks, artists Earl Jackson and Jon Lockard, educators Joseph Dulin and Thomas Fleming -- and many others.
