Prince George’s County African American Museum & Cultural Center - Lincoln Vista
“In the early 20th century, the community of Lincoln Vista was established along the Washington Baltimore & Annapolis (WB&A) Electric Railway. It was one of the few affordable housing options for Middle-Class African Americans in Prince George’s County, Maryland.”
Historically, Prince George’s County has such a rich legacy, fondly known as one of the most affluent Black counties in the country like the Lincoln Vista community. Yet, the contributions made by so many Foundational Black Americans seemed to have aged with a whisper, post Jim Crow. Through research, observation, asking questions, interviewing, listening, self-reflections and self-love, we hope to honor the hidden legacy of many Black people with film.
