Note from the president
Bloodline Ambassador
The Black Footprints NYC was founded in 2020 by Lisa Burriss, Bloodline Ambassador and native New Yorker who is a passionate historian emboldened and inspired by the "past we pass everyday!" Fascinated with the rich American history in her backyard on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Burriss saw the need to for a more comprehensive approach to historical preservation. Since then, we have worked on numerous projects to creating educational experiences on American History through a Pan African lens.
