Executive Director Mt. Zion Memorial Fund for Blues, Music, and Justice
I am also the Executive Director of the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund, a Mississippi non-profit promoting the inclusive and responsible practice of memorialization and historic preservation in African American communities.
Since 1989, the MZMF has served as a conduit to provide financial and technical support to African American churches and cemeteries, and we have collaborated with the descendants of Blues artists and Blues communities to research, design, and install memorials on the unmarked graves of artists and maintain undocumented cultural resources.
