Are you proficient when a conversation hits the table about black history and its pioneers, or is your knowledge of it misinformed?  Many of our young African Americans are severely in jeopardy of loosing their culture and their knowledge about black history. We continue to starve our minds when we don't seek the valuable information that is infinitely there.  The rich and hearty history that surrounds us in Wyandanch should not be taken for granted, it should be embraced and taught to our young African Americans so that it sticks in the minds of our people.

BLACK HISTORY IS ALL AROUND US...

Not just in the media but also right in our own neighborhood where its beginnings should be as important to our children as reading, writing and arithmetic still is. 

The pioneers of Eastern Long Island and Wyandanch have paved the way for African Americans like you and I; and made it possible for us to live in a thriving community where residents are able to raise a family, work with respect for each other and their surrounding neighbors.

Short conversations with the old folks who lived in the Wyandanch community for several years helped to inspire me to research the history.  Wyandanch holds a rich tradition of prominent pioneers that were able to build a tradition of founding stakeholders.

Wyandanch has an interesting story about how African-American families thrived in this community in the early years of change.

We need to continue to educate our own children,

We need to continue to build this community

We need to continue having pioneers who break barriers and create change for "you and I".
