Preserving Our Legacy Through Storytelling and Community Engagement
About THOU: Informative and Engaging Guide
THOU (The History Of Us) is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to preserving and sharing African American history through powerful, intergenerational storytelling. Each week, families and community leaders from across the nation share lesser-known historical narratives, ensuring these stories are remembered and passed down authentically.
Why we do it?
Every day, invaluable history is lost—stories never shared, voices never heard. THOU is committed to capturing these stories, educating future generations, fostering family bonds, and strengthening communities by empowering people to reclaim their cultural heritage.

2. What does THOU stand for?
THOU stands for The History Of Us, emphasizing that history is a shared experience, not just for one group but for everyone. The name also plays on the word “thou” to evoke wisdom, tradition, and the passing down of knowledge.
