Barrett-Peake Heritage Foundation is a non profit organization located in Hampton, VA. As President of Hampton Roads Branch of The Association For The Study of African American Life and History, I am very happy that this foundation is working to ensure that the history of these outstanding individuals will continue to be told in a way that will benefit not only the local communities but through out the country. The foundation is aggressively renovating the historic Federation house, creating an archival space, museum first floor period space of furniture and artifacts from the organization's work during the greater 20th century, and a second floor of meeting rooms for youth development, tutoring, etiquette courses, etc. Efforts like this will ensure the story of African American history will have a legacy.
