The African American Registry (the Registry) is a non-profit educational resource for the learning community to supply teachers with the information, method, and materials to provide a solid educational background in Black History and Heritage, in science, business, the arts, and all facets of academics and life.
This free Internet text service is used to train teachers for content classroom use in all subjects. The Registry also employs educational companion products which support the website. Currently there are two types of yearly calendars, Black Heritage/365, and an education card game for ages 8 and up called ‘Fishing the Registry.’ The organization supports itself through these product sales, and modest fees for presentations, workshops, seminars trainings. In September 2004 the agency received its 501c (3) status and now adds donations and foundation support towards its mission. Theirr mission is to teach African-American heritage as American heritage in all subjects everyday through training, curriculum, technology and products.
