Gye Nyame - except for God - West African symbol of the supremacy of God Elmer Brown, UCAC Founder"Quite often I just sit on the bench [at the monument] and visualize what we should be and what we could be," he said. "And I guess there are just regular emotions that go with that when we stop and think of how many us don't even realize our history or who we are." ~ Elmer Brown, UCAC Founder

SANKOFA - return and get it - West African symbol of importance of learning from the past People made great sacrifices for this country to be where it is today. It's a universal sacrifice on both sides of the fence. Unfortunately, our history has reflected more of one side than another. People need to understand the contributions that have been made to make this country what it is.

PRESERVING BLACK HISTORY - One Story at a Time

With so much of the history of the African American people still tucked away in their hearts and minds, it is imperative to begin to speak, and to gather, and to admire the contributions of America's Black History.
 Welcome to the Unified Committee for African American Contributions (UCAC)
With nearly twenty years of chronicling the many contributions of the black population to the local history of a small Maryland community, the Unified Committee for Afro-American Contributions, a 501(C) 3 non-profit organization, recognizes the importance of telling these stories to future generations.  Help us reach out to the entire nation.  Help us record a vanishing history.
