WLH Newsletter First edition 1989; WLH Newsletter Website launched 2009.
PURPOSE: The Purpose of this Wilson Lake Herbert Family Reunion Newsletter since it’s inception in 1989 has been to preserve our history for our descendants to see as well as to foster unity, love and appreciation amongst our family members, young and old. We want future generations to know what has occurred and to have some sense of our feelings about it. We follow a Timeline of events that are significant to us as a people that coincides with happenings in our own lives. This format was summed up beautifully in the following quote taken from the February 2008 issue of Essence Magazine: “Like a Timeline in a history book, our elders are a record of a rich and celebrated legacy. Full of stories and wisdom, they offer a living account of the past to those who will become our future and provide insight into history yet to be made – – – 1935 Wiley debates win; 1947 Pro Baseball integrated; 1954 Landmark Supreme Court ruling; 1986 New National Holiday Observed; 1995 One Million gathered in Washington.”
We look forward to submissions from family on any of their stories, opinions, news and photos, etc. anytime throughout the year.
