UToledo students explore the African American Legacy Project of Northwest Ohio with its founder and director, Robert Smith, as one of several UToledo Black History Month events in collaboration with the Office of Multicultural Student Success, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the Office of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnerships.
During the tour, the students and Smith engaged in discussions about the profound impact of this museum and reflected on the legacy that the students aspire to leave on campus and beyond.
The African American Legacy Project of Northwest was founded in 2004 to help foster intellectual, socioeconomic and participatory growth in communities where African Americans reside.
“The African American Legacy Project serves as a testament to the rich history and ongoing contributions of African Americans, providing an inspiring backdrop for students to reflect on their role in shaping a more inclusive and diverse future,” said Tessa Scott, multicultural program manager in the Office of Multicultural Student Success.
