At the Center of the Mother of American Presidents

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."

Charles W. White Sr. is the editor and publisher of the regional African-American newspaper, The Informant. He is a retired history teacher and the president of the Buckingham County Afro American Life and History Society.
