We have made oral history video tapes that capture the stories of Black Americans in this area. Researches and visitors have returned to physically visiting our building for tours and research.

The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
