It began its growth in the year of nineteen seventy-seven in an area known as Holland Pines, which is located in the eastern portion of Tampa, Florida. At the mere age of nineteen and sharing a duplex with my to be first wife and mother of my son. At the time Earth, Wind & Fire, The O’Jays, The Temptations, LTD & The Emotions to name a few were the top Rhythm & Blues act of the seventies. Though I was and still to this day is an avid Temptations Fan, it must be noted for those of us who were young and getting our Soul Train groove on at the time, The Emotions had hit it big with their smash: “BEST OF MY LOVE” and “DON’T ASK MY NEIGHBORS” off of their Grammy Award Album, “REJOICE.” It was discovered years later that after all that time I had held on to not the album, but the Cassette (Yes Cassette)!

That cassette and many items collected through the years would wound up being a portion of historical items that would play a major role in the beginning of what is known today as a gift.

Correct a “gift!”

 “THE DLD TRAVELING BLACK HISTORY MUSEUM” definitely made its mark since the inception back in the year Twenty-Ten. No, it is not as elaborate, huge, in demand or located in a brick and mortar. It is a mobile museum and upon request it is loaded in a vehicle and driven to the customers site of business. That business can consist of an educational institution, i.e., Public School (Elementary, Middle, High), Charter, and Private.
