CREATING A LEGACY

Oral history is not as prevalent as it had been in the past.  It is my goal to determine current practices and methods by which African American men are passing on the history and legacy for their family.
For example, if you have written and published a book, please let me know the links and details.
If you are writing a legacy will, please attach a copy. I will update this blog on Monday of each week.
If you are an artist and have drawn or painted photos, please advise.

The following has been taken from a posting by J. Otis Ledbetter and Kurt Bruner in a Focus on the Family article.

QUESTION FOR TODAY 

Building Relationships
No matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have one thing in common: a heritage. That is, a social, emotional and/or spiritual legacy passed on from parent to child. Every one of us is passed a heritage, lives out a heritage, and gives a heritage to our family. It's not an option. Parents always pass to their children a legacy … good, bad or some of both.
