We

Are

We stand on the shoulders of our proud,

courageous ancestors.


The David L. Head Foundation is a 501C3- non-for-profit organization established to ensure that the legacies of minority founders of America are not lost. Oftentimes, these contributions have been excluded from historical citation and therefore its important to bring to light their significant roles in shaping the American experience.

Our flagship Granville T. Woods Project

This project is a unique production that skillfully highlight the principal contributions of an African American inventor whose life exemplifies hard work, persistence, commitment, and dedication to his goals. The Subway Centennial exhibit provides insight into how Mr. Woods used his electrical genius to improve the quality of life for a nation and a society.


Mr. Woods legacy is an encouraging message especially to youth, and this exhibit is valuable in its historical perspective.
