 A letter from our chairman

Dear Donor,

 

We hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the Stagville Descendants' Council, we express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation. Your support plays a vital role in preserving the rich history and heritage of Stagville Descendants, and we are truly thankful for your commitment to our cause. Your contribution will make a significant impact, and we would like to share with you three key aspects of how the funds will be utilized:

 

• Preservation of Stagville Descendants Legacy: Your donation will directly contribute to the ongoing efforts to preserve and continue researching the descendant's legacy. The information, traditions, and culture are invaluable pieces of our shared history, and your support will ensure that future generations can connect with and learn from the past.
• Educational Programs and Outreach Initiatives: We are passionate about fostering education and awareness about the history of Stagville, the enslaved people, and the descendants who worked, lived, and died on this plantation. The funds will be used to develop and enhance educational programs, workshops, and outreach initiatives that aim to engage the community and provide a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of Stagville and the contribution its enslaved community provided.
• Community Building and Events: To strengthen the bonds within the Stagville community, part of the funds will be allocated towards organizing events and gatherings. These events will not only celebrate the heritage and legacy of Stagville but also provide opportunities for descendants to come together, share stories, and build a sense of unity and pride.

 

Once again, thank you for your invaluable support. Together, we are making a meaningful impact on preserving and celebrating the history of Stagville, the enslaved people, and their descendants. We look forward to keeping you updated on the progress of our initiatives and the positive changes your contribution helps bring about.

 

Warm regards,

Ricky L. Hart, Chairman, Stagville Descendants' Council
