Welcome to the official home of Lift Every Voice—a powerful exploration of an African American family’s history, resilience, and legacy. Through genealogical research and historical insight, this work traces an African American family across generations, revealing how political and social issues impacted their lives. More than a study of the past, Lift Every Voice honors the voices, struggles, and achievements that continue to influence the present and inspire the future.

We invite you to discover these stories, connect with this shared history, and celebrate the enduring strength of family and what MLK Jr. termed the “Beloved Community”.
