Buckingham County, located in the heart of central Virginia, was established in 1761. Since Buckingham County's formation, African Americans have contributed to the history and legacy of the county and were the majority of its population from 1810 to 1910. Former residents include Frank Moss, a Reconstruction lawmaker, and Carter Godwin Woodson, noted African-American educator and "the Father of Black History."
E. Ren©e Ingram is a descendant of early African- American Buckingham families and the president and founder of the African American Heritage Preservation Foundation, Inc.
