• Developing an Emmy-winning television streaming episode on Prince Edward County’s civil rights legacy;

• Passing federal legislation making the Moton Museum an affiliated area of the U.S. National Park System;

• Digitally preserving traditional knowledge, oral histories, photo collections, historical records, and cultural landscapes (ongoing);

• And more.
