The Vineyard Project - Community Foundation For Greater New Haven

The Vineyard Project is dedicated to amplifying the vibrant Black history and culture of Greater New Haven.

Through the journey to Oaks Bluffs, a panel discussion, and a walk through Martha’s Vineyard, there were a few nuggets of wisdom I brought back, along with a lesson on why the sweatshirt I bought says Inkwell - We must reconcile with our past, challenge the stories told about us and envision them being told another way, one that that celebrates and makes us proud of who we are.
