Cultural Preservation and Educational Endeavors

Our dedication to preserving and promoting the heritage of Indigenous and African diaspora communities is driven by a commitment to education and cultural understanding. Our endeavors in the realm of ancient civilizations are particularly focused on the mound-building cultures known as the Muurs and the Washitaw, whose historical significance is often overlooked in mainstream narratives. Through detailed research and educational outreach, we aim to bring to light the monumental achievements of these "Ancient Ones," showcasing their ingenuity through our various programs and exhibitions.Our Traveling Black Inventions Museum plays a crucial role in highlighting the innovations of Black inventors, sharing stories and inventions that have significantly shaped modern society. This mobile museum not only educates the public about the contributions of African Americans but also celebrates the broader African diaspora's impact on global technology and culture. Through interactive exhibits and educational talks, we bridge historical gaps and foster a greater appreciation for the diverse technological and cultural contributions of Black individuals.


In addition to our historical and cultural pursuits, our commitment to the natural environment is manifested in our apiary operations at Hilltop Apiary. Here, we engage in sustainable beekeeping practices, emphasizing the importance of honeybees to biodiversity and environmental health. Our efforts in swarm removal and bee conservation are integral to promoting ecological balance and educating the public about the critical role of pollinators in our ecosystems.


Each of these interests—from our educational museum tours that explore the pyramids and mounds of North America to our advocacy for the recognition of Indigenous rights—illustrates our overarching goal: to educate, inspire, and foster a deeper appreciation for the intertwined histories of humanity and the earth. Through initiatives that span from Poverty Point to the broader reaches of the Ouachita, and through figures like Brother Umar Shabazz and the Empress of Washitaw, we continue to champion the cause of cultural preservation and education, ensuring that these rich legacies are known and respected worldwide.
