Beyond the Absent: Rising in Truth, Living the Legacy is an immersive exhibition that challenges stereotypes about Black fatherhood, highlighting stories of love, leadership, and legacy. Through storytelling and visuals, it uplifts the truth of Black fathers who are present—nurturing families, shaping communities, and building futures. It celebrates strength, visibility, and impact—showing what’s always been there, not what’s missing.
