Who We Are

Welcome to the official website of Professor Lisa Daniels — educator, historian, documentarian, and community advocate. With a deep commitment to uplifting untold stories and a passion for cultural preservation, Lisa’s work bridges the past and present to inspire future generations. 

As Executive Director of the Unsung Heroes Living History Project, Lisa leads a powerful movement to document the lives of African American veterans whose contributions have too often been overlooked. Her mission is rooted in both scholarship and activism — making history accessible, relevant, and empowering for students, families, and communities.
