National Visionary Leadership Project http://www.visionaryproject.com

Generations of African Americans, both elders and young people, are united in this exciting new venture. College students interview living legends (all of them at least 70), some nationally known and others known primarily in their communities. All of this invaluable material is placed on the NVLP website, providing worldwide access to pivotal African American autobiographical narratives, and providing a whole new understanding of this country's past, and the lessons to be learned from it. Some of this material has been recently released in book format: A WEALTH OF WISDOM - LEGENDARY AFRICAN AMERICAN ELDERS SPEAK. Cosby, Camille O. and Renee Poussaint. New York, NY: Atria Books 2004.

AfriCalendar: Time In Our Own Image http://www.africalendar.com

The AfriCalendar is a dating system based on African history and culture. It divides time into two afriperiods: before the Diaspora (btD) and the time of the Diaspora (otD.) There are 13 months, named for significant people and events, with the idea being that as you journey through the afriyear, you'll journey through African history and culture. The beautiful and positives images by Chidi Okoye (Nigerian-born master artist and sculptor) alone are worth the price of the calendar.
