Lesson Overview: Lost Foundations Collection

The Lost Foundations collection explores historically Black communities built through ownership, cooperation, and vision—and later erased through racial violence, displacement, or policy framed as “progress.”

Each piece functions as applied scholarship, transforming history into lived experience through design, storytelling, and cultural expression designed to:

• Preserve Black history through wearable scholarship

• Function as a visual archive and conversation starter

• Support education, preservation, and cultural stewardship

These pieces operate as living syllabi, carrying historical truth into public space and inviting reflection, conversation, and stewardship.

A portion of proceeds from every purchase directly supports The Black Sanctuary School of Excellence programming.
