Our Vision...
Our vision is to live in a world where no child should ever have to grow up questioning theirs or anyone else's heritage because they lack the knowledge of their ancestral roots.

About...
The Living History Foundation (LHF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Austin, TX. Our vision is to teach emerging young interpreters how to research and interpret the stories of people of color, women, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. In doing so, prove our ancestors shared many of the same dreams and aspirations we all do today.
For the most part, these marginalized groups have been omitted from our history books, leaving their communities with a lack of cultural awareness. We believe, in this deeply divided world, we all need a basic understanding of who we are and who the person is sitting across from us. This lack of awareness hurts this nation as a whole and is why we see the same social injustice constantly reoccurring.
Someday, our children will inherit the world our ancestors had envisioned. Until then, let’s give them the tools they will need to help make this a better world for all.
