About the AAHS of Rockland

The current African American Historical Society of Rockland County received its charter on May 23, 2006. This event was the culmination of many months of hard work and dedicated planning. The revival process began when Willie Trotman, President of the Spring Valley NAACP, had the idea to create a heritage center for the celebration and study of people of the African Diaspora. He quickly received material and moral support from Drs. Susan and Edmund Gordon, founders of The CEJJES Institute, since the charter of the institute provides for such an initiative. The organizers called for individuals in the community and representatives from various community organizations to form a planning group for the Rockland African Diaspora Heritage Center.
