The National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP) is the premier resource for oral history interviews with African American elders who shaped the 20th century.
Co-founded in 2001 as a nonprofit educational organization by educator and philanthropist Camille O. Cosby, Ed.D. and Emmy award-winning journalist Renee Poussaint,
NVLP has conducted videotaped interviews with more than 250 pioneers and acclaimed leaders.
Some of these elders are nationally recognized and interviewed by NVLP's co-founders and board members, such as Maya Angelou, Shirley Chisholm, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, John Hope Franklin, Dorothy Height, Quincy Jones, and Coretta Scott King. Others, known primarily in their local communities, are selected and interviewed by NVLP college Fellows. All of this invaluable primary source material is accessible worldwide on NVLPs website www.visionaryproject.org and archived at the Library of Congress.
