The St. Simons African American Heritage Coalition is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and revitalizing African American heritage and culture on St. Simons Island, GA. Comprised of African American property owners and concerned citizens, the coalition aims to protect the African American land, heritage, and culture that played a significant role in the development of the island. As development and land speculation increase, the coalition works to prevent the erasure of African American heritage and the displacement of African American families from their ancestral lands.
Through educational initiatives, historic tours, and events, the St. Simons African American Heritage Coalition seeks to educate the community and visitors about the rich history of African Americans on the island. The coalition also highlights the importance of preserving African American heritage through the celebration of stories, people, facts, and events that have shaped coastal African American history. By sharing these stories and promoting awareness, the coalition aims to ensure that the contributions and experiences of African Americans are recognized and remembered.
