The Story Behind the Foundation

We are engaged in the formal preservation of the rich and distinctive undocumented history of African Americans within the Southeast Florida Parishes. This initiative encompasses the acknowledgment and celebration of both past and present influential leaders, such as Rev. Arthur Tasker and others, who have played a significant role in shaping the region. Additionally, the UHF is dedicated to documenting and highlighting the impactful events and individuals that have contributed meaningfully to the area’s historical and cultural landscape.

WHAT WE DO

Preserving Untold
African American History

UHF conducts research in the Southeast Louisiana tri-parishes to collect narratives, oral histories, documents, identify historical sites, and photographs that depict the experiences of African American people, while also locating repositories for these collections and presenting this history through short film productions.

Our Journey Through Hidden Stories

The Untold History Foundation invites individuals to contribute photographs and documents for preservation and long-term care. The foundation offers services to digitize materials, protecting them from physical deterioration while enabling their accessibility to future generations. Through its expertise in archiving, the foundation ensures meticulous handling, cataloging, and storage of items, thereby preserving personal and historical narratives for purposes of research, education, and cultural enrichment. This ensures that valuable stories and artifacts are not lost to time, fostering a deeper understanding of history. By making these resources available online, the foundation supports scholars, educators, and communities in exploring and learning from the past, enriching collective knowledge and preserving cultural heritage for the future.
