📜 Mission Statement

Wendy Black Foundation – Cultural Preservation & Digital History Initiative

The Wendy Black Foundation is a U.S.-based nonprofit initiative committed to documenting, preserving, and educating the public about cultural, historical, and artistic movements around the world. Our mission is to ensure that future generations have access to the stories, music, art, and social impact of the creators, communities, and cultural phenomena that shaped our collective history.

We believe that the internet — when used responsibly — is one of the most powerful tools for preserving cultural memory. Through carefully curated archives, educational commentary, and historical documentation, we aim to provide a permanent, non-commercial digital record of influential figures, movements, and moments that define our global culture.

🌍 What We Do

• Preserve History: We collect and archive publicly available media — including interviews, performances, documentaries, news coverage, and academic commentary — for historical and educational purposes.

• Promote Education: Our platforms serve students, researchers, journalists, and fans seeking reliable information about cultural and artistic impact.

• Support Research: We provide organized access to publicly available information to support scholarly research, media literacy, and cultural understanding.

• Amplify Legacy: Many creators, artists, and movements are under-documented online. We fill that gap by preserving the public conversation around their work and influence.

🛡️ Our Vision

Culture belongs to everyone — and its preservation is essential to understanding who we are and where we’re going.

Through this project, we aim to build the largest independent digital archive of hip-hop, entertainment, social movements, and global cultural history — free to the public, free from corporate control, and accessible worldwide.
