Lex Musta hasn't added a story.
Hello, I’m Lex, a human amity worker, and today I’m reaching out to share a story that’s close to my heart—a story of two remarkable individuals, George and Coralie Cook. They were not just educators but also pillars of civil rights, champions of equality, and beacons of hope for many.
George and Coralie Cook dedicated their lives to the noble causes of education, the arts, and tirelessly fought for civil rights. Their legacy is a testament to the power of courage and conviction in the face of adversity, self-emancipating themselves from enslavement and rising to build institutions such as Howard University, Delta Sigma Theta, The National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, and the NAACP. They believed that every individual, regardless of background, deserved a chance at a brighter future.
Their mausoleum stands as a symbol of their enduring spirit, but time has taken its toll, and it needs restoration. It’s more than just a structure; it’s a monument to their monumental impact, a place where future generations can come to learn about the battles fought for the freedoms they enjoy.
Your support can breathe new life into this hallowed space. A donation towards the $2000 cost of restoring the mausoleum will ensure that the Cooks’ story continues to inspire. It’s not just about preserving history; it’s about honoring the human spirit that fought for a world of equality.
We’ve reached a critical point where we can either let their memory fade or choose to stand up and carry their torch forward. By contributing, you’re not just giving funds; you’re giving respect to their legacy and ensuring that their voices continue to echo through time.
Join us in this noble endeavor. Let’s fortify the history that George and Coralie Cook helped shape. Your contribution is more than a donation; it’s a tribute to their lives, a commitment to our shared heritage, and a step towards a more equitable world.
Act now. Be the hero in this story. Your support is their enduring monument. Share this cause with your friends and family, and together, let’s keep the legacy of George and Coralie Cook alive for generations to come. Thank you.
