On Tuesday, Tuesday, September 9th, Darin Waters spoke at The Lincoln Institute Breakfast Forum.  Darin is an outstanding young man whom Lincoln Institute President Jay Parker met several years ago when Darin was a student at Liberty University.  Darin is now working on his Ph.D. in History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is a member of the Lincoln Institute’s Board of Directors.

Mr. Waters has recently founded and serves as president of a new organization called the Institute for Historical Research and Education to restore and cultivate a greater historical consciousness among the public.  Darin filled us in on the Institute and it’s first exciting project ... research into what may be the oldest black cultural center in America, the YMI Cultural Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
