PRESIDENT & FOUNDER DAVID L. HEAD FOUNDATION
"LEARNING HISTORY THROUGH THE ARTS & STEM EDUCATION"
COORDINATOR OF MEET THE SCIENTIST
http:// davidlheadfoundation.com
Topic: The Legacy of Claude Harvard: Modernized Ford Motor Company During the 1930's
"Far too much of our history has been stolen, disseminated and capitalized into glorified mythical character and events; while the original saga remains untold". The David L. Head Foundation is a 501C3- non-for-profit organization established to ensure that the legacies of minority founders of America are not lost. Oftentimes, these contributions have been excluded from historical citation and therefore its important to bring to light their significant roles in shaping the American experience.
The DLH Foundation is committed to take on the responsibility to define, interpret, and claim our rich golden legacy with a wide variety of Black Heritage products. This includes colorful illuminated puzzles & board games. Beautiful mosaic art capturing the black family. As well as inspirational t-shirts, hoodies and posters.
Our goal is to inspire the next generation to embrace and define that historic reality. Whether it`s a spiritual penetrating poem that stirs ones inner emotions, a thought-provoking short story praising our great ancestors or a captivating play that brings alive a dramatic story on stage with colorful costumes and soulful folks songs. That’s why we must become the primary authors in shaping African American history.
