In 2023, NWA Black Heritage launched the Fayetteville Black Historic District project to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of Black communities in Northwest Arkansas. This initiative combats historical disenfranchisement, redlining, and eminent domain threats by protecting significant cultural sites, including churches and historic buildings. The project promotes economic growth through job creation and small business opportunities, while fostering community pride and identity. Future plans include developing an Afrofuturist Museum, affordable housing, and enhanced green spaces to ensure a vibrant and inclusive community for generations to come.

Black Girl Excellence" is an impactful mentorship initiative sponsored by our organization at Fayetteville High School, led by teacher Ms. Breanna Taylor, benefiting approximately 40 students from grades 9-12. This innovative program holistically supports the students' academic achievements and personal growth, focusing on their mental, physical, and social well-being. NWABH enriches the program by introducing a secondary mentor, an accomplished MA graduate, Olympic pentathlete, and media personality, who brings inspiring encounters with successful Black professionals, thereby expanding the students' horizons and showing the vast array of success paths available to them. Through our involvement, including funding for unique and enriching activities, we directly contribute to shaping confident, well-rounded, and aspirational young Black women, poised to become influential leaders and trailblazers in their communities and beyond.

Black Communities & Schools: Our organization spearheads a vital initiative to preserve and illuminate the African American heritage in Fayetteville, with a particular focus on historical educational disparities, as exemplified by Jefferson and Lincoln Schools. We delve into historical research, uncovering and bringing to light the systemic challenges and injustices faced by the African American community due to past city planning and educational policies. Our advocacy and educational outreach extend beyond mere awareness, as we actively engage in revising current city plans, including the 2008 Parks Master Plan, to honor and reflect the rich African American history. This crucial work not only corrects historical narratives but also empowers the Fayetteville community with a more inclusive and accurate understanding of its diverse heritage, fostering a sense of pride and belonging among African American residents and contributing to a more equitable society.
