The Carolinian Legacy Foundation is the linchpin of our community's network. This network is not just social or professional, but it is also generational. The foundation is capturing living history to keep the knowledge and experiences of those who have already been there. Too often our folks have to start from zero and grind hard and fast to achieve their goals. There is a huge advantage to passing on knowledge from people who have been where you are, or people who are where you want to be.

The Carolinian has always been the disseminator of information. The newspaper records it in real time and the foundation preserves it for all time. Ultimately the Carolinian Legacy Foundation would like to have a library. A beautiful space where the voices of our leaders echo through the halls and the words of our writers decorate the walls. A safe space with reading rooms and video archives that will pass along the secrets of our elders.

On our journey to building the library, we have much work to do. The funds that we have raised in the past few months have gone to support several organizations throughout the holidays. We have also been steadily recording living history from our elders so that we can preserve their knowledge for future generations.

We ask that you please support our efforts by purchasing a brick in our Legacy Wall. This wall will stand as a testament to the strength of our community. Your brick will announce to the world that YOU were a part of something that will live on long beyond your days. You are gifting the generations to come with knowledge, and they will know your name.

We want to thank our early investors for helping us launch this lifelong project. M&F Bank, NorthState Bank, North Carolina Black Alliance and the Tennie Group were amazing partners in getting this project off of the ground. Now we need your help to keep building.

You can purchase a brick for yourself, put it in the family name or buy it for your organization. The cost is $1,940.00, which is the year that The Carolinian Newspaper began its service to the community.

Thank you for being a part of this legacy!
