The newsletter it self was interesting. I so love historical facts and trivia like the extinct black township that was in it. After seeing the site I just had to sign up for the newsletter myself and I just wish to thank you for this glorious read!! I positively enjoyed each little bit of it and I have you bookmarked.

It is such a great mix of "then and now". We and our world are a product of who came before us. The more we know about who they were, what they did and why the better we will understand what we need to do today. Thank you for the amazing images (some of them were a trip down memory lane for me) and the interesting articles. I try to leave a comment whenever I like a site and I loved this one.

I like the cultural feel of the articles. I especially appreciate the travel articles that I have found since I started visiting here. I had never even heard of The Heritage Trail before. Now I have started looking into the possibility of taking my family on a cultural vacation this year. Thank you for the service you provide our culture.

Culture and heritage mean different things to differing people. I like that I can find both current cultural concerns and historic cultural information and figures here. Definitely one of the most unique sites I have ever been to. Not every one who comes to a site like this is looking for the exact same thing.

I unfortunately did not know about the ship ceremonies until recently and am appalled to find how little documentation on it there is. I fail to understand why it was not more publicly announced and recognized. Thank you for preserving and presenting this information honoring a man who was willing to give his life in order to move our country towards true equality.

I think it is magnificent the way that you present our past and present as African Americans. The images and the stories are unique and so is the over all feel of the site. I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring your site and will be back often. Thank you! Recently found your site through my research into Juneteenth.

I was struck by the images in it when I flipped through the pages, but being a native of San Antonio what really caught my attention was a feature on Charles Williams. Now that I have seen your site I must say I am really impressed. So much media attention is given to the politicians and the hollywood crowd it is refreshing to see stories on real people that are making a difference in people's lives and their communities. Thank you for providing a quality source of positive stories. We all need to be reminded that no matter where we come from there is always a way to make a difference just like Mr. Williams. May you attain much success! I recently came across an edition of your magazine that was from this past summer while waiting for an appointment.

Even though I myself have never been in the military I have loved ones who have and I have the upmost respect for those that have served and are serving. Especially in these uncertain times. I too think it is a statement as to the true dedication of this publication to honoring our men and women who have or are serving our country that you have dedicated an entire section of your site to them. I would also like to add that I personally enjoy your articles on places to visit and the cultural things available in them. All our kids are grown and have their own family vacations and I myself don't get to travel much. However, I have sent the article on Richmond to them as it is only a half days drive from my oldest son and his family. Thank you for your integrity, your support of our service people and your efforts to keep our history and culture alive. After reading Rosana’s comment felt the need to comment as well.

It is so nice to see that someone besides the VA remembers our country’s veterans more than just on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. I realize that there are several organizations and individuals that are there to help us all year round. To those people I am VERY GRATEFUL! But the media in general has little to no interest except during those two times. You on the other hand have an entire section dedicated to us and not only do you post interesting and helpful tips and information, but you actually pay tribute to us year around. I love the salute to us in the magazine that my friend just showed me it was absolutely stunning! I also loved the article on the Gold star Wives, they have been a great comfort to many of my friends who lost their loved ones in service to our country and more people need to be aware of their great work. Then last, but certainly not least there is the story on Sgt Early which was very humbling and yet inspiring. These 3 things combined are what brought me to the site in the first place today and after seeing your veterans section I just had to let you and everyone else know how much we veterans appreciate being remembered.

It is so unique. I have manually shared it on my facebook, but was wondering if you will be integrating a way to share more easily with our friends? Thank you for an amazing experience.
