Rise Cincy Is Building a Public Memory of Black Cincinnati

A collaborative Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky network preserving and sharing African-American history and culture through stories, oral histories, art, media, and public programs.

Why it surfaced

Rise Cincy names a concrete local remit: documenting people, neighborhoods, institutions, movements, and cultural traditions before they slip from public memory. Its planned mix of interviews, digital exhibits, podcasts, educational resources, lectures, and cultural showcases gives the project the feel of a community-built history desk rather than a generic organization homepage.
