Always having a deep passion for history and propensity toward writing David L. Head joined the Transport Workers Union Local 100 Black History Committee. Where he uncovered a newfound purpose in researching and documenting African American heritage. This passion led to the developing of dynamic Black History programs, where he

collaborated with poets, performers, and community leaders across the Metropolitan area. In 1996, after noticing the absence of African American contributions in a PBS documentary on transportation, David L. Head began extensive

research into the legacy of Granville T. Woods (GTW), an African American inventor. Over the next 15 years, his dedication resulted in significant accomplishments, including the 2004 MTA GTW Commemorative Exhibit, the distribution of 4 million GTW Metro Cards, and the renaming of a Brooklyn street as “Granville T. Woods Way."

In 2006, David L. Head founded the DLHF, a nonprofit organization aimed at preserving people of color legacies. Their advocacy continued with the creation of a GTW documentary, which won a Telly Award in 2010, and the integration of GTW research into the Charles H. Wright Museum's permanent exhibit, "Inspiring Minds."

In 2013, David L. Head launched "Meet the Scientist Saturday," a program designed to promote STEM education for curious young minds. By showcasing African American modern day trailblazers and student-led projects. That same year, he became an active member of the National Society of Black Engineers, Engineer Society of Detroit and received

the prestigious Mary McLeod Bethune Award for his mentoring efforts in science and technology.

As the Chairperson of the Black Historic Sites Committee with the Detroit Historical Society, David L. Head led initiatives to highlight African American contributions in the Detroit-Metro area. In 2016, he secured a $25,000 grant from the Michigan Humanities Council to direct the Heritage Tracking Advancement Project, tracing the progress of Michigan's Black population from 1915 to the present.

Recently he spearheaded a successful team effort for Cornelius L. Henderson to receive a Michigan Historical Marker in Riverside Park. Also working on a book about the extraordinary innovator Claude Harvard. On how he modernized Ford Motor Company " Model A " through automation inspection. With his wife Glendoria and John Green they have republished the oldest black history book in Michigan " Negroes in Michigan History."

With so push back on teaching Black History. My primary objective is to raise students' consciousness by providing Stem lectures, and educational black heritage products. Such as: Illustration children books (coloring books),puzzles, board games, various 2025 calendars, posters, inspirational tee shirts/hoodies, and buttons. Remember there are two ways to receive an education " One is given to you, the other you give to yourself "! Don` hesitate to contact Mr. Head to assist you on your journey of enlightenment.
