American Revolutionary War & Civil War Information
With awareness of over 200 African customs, skills and knowledge of culture that disappeared from colonized Nigeria but were passed down 5 generations in America to me,
I am documenting the information.
My DNA takes mefrom Ethiopia, Sudan, Central toWest Africa which is why I did research in Nigeria & Ghana to be sure the information is accurate that we teach in America.
Then the other side of the family comes from Europe, Middle Eastern to Native American to me.
I teach delayed gratification & reconciliation skills using my family’s diverse legacy of civil service.
I have 187 years of collected artifacts and textiles, documented history to preserve and teach skills that are vanishing. See our Museum Page
I can't change my ancestor being taken from Africa but I can provide assistance for Africa's relief.

If you missed the interview Click my photo or below!
Dr. Howard & Mrs. Serena Wilson attended the Worldwide Organization of Women's
(WOW) Conference in 2004
We heard the plight of the villagers living near Eze River in Ozubulu Anambra State, Nigeria.
Our family pledged the money from our book sales and gave it to WOW.
WOW raised $35,000.00, partnered with Dr. Stong, a retired architech, who went to Nigeria, designed and supervised the effort. The villagers that live in the area contributed 30 men & women workers for 60 days.
Watch and Be Blessed!

150 tons of excavation; 175 tons of concrete; 47 tons of timber; and 6 tons of steel pipe was what it took to build the Eze River bridge in the Anambra state village of Ozubulu.
I can't wait to see what grows from the financial seeds planted this year.

ABOUT The IGBO VILLAGE
The Igbo village in Staunton, Virginia is a tangible recognition of the contribution of the Igbo victims of the Atlantic slave trade to the development of Virginia and the greater American frontier culture.
Enslaved Igbo men, women and children who traveled by force from many specific locations in the hinterland of Igboland to North America, helped to build what is now known as the United States. A great majority of those who came to Vi...See More
