Recovering the stories of the formerly enslaved
Driven by passion and built on purpose, our work is deeply personal
Mission Statement
The Alex Breanne Corporation is dedicated to recovering, preserving, and sharing the forgotten stories of historically marginalized individuals and families, particularly those affected by slavery and racial injustice. Through archival research, genealogy, documentary filmmaking, education, historical preservation, and descendant engagement, we reconnect families with their ancestral histories while ensuring these stories become a permanent part of America's historical record.
Organizational Purpose
The Alex Breanne Corporation exists to bridge the gap between historical research and public understanding. While countless stories of enslaved and marginalized individuals remain absent from textbooks, museums, and historical narratives, our organization works to recover those lives through meticulous archival research and transform that scholarship into resources that educate, inspire, and strengthen communities.
Our work extends beyond traditional genealogy. We partner with descendants, educators, museums, historical societies, libraries, government agencies, and community organizations to preserve cemeteries, correct historical inaccuracies, develop educational curricula, install historical markers, produce documentaries, publish books, and create opportunities for meaningful public dialogue.
By restoring overlooked lives to the historical record, we help descendants better understand their heritage while encouraging broader conversations about American history, identity, resilience, and shared humanity.
Our Approach
The Alex Breanne Corporation creates lasting public impact by combining rigorous historical research with education, preservation, and community engagement. Rather than simply uncovering forgotten stories, we transform historical discoveries into meaningful experiences that reconnect descendants with their ancestral histories while making those stories accessible to the broader public.
Our work follows a five-step approach:
Research – Conduct original archival, genealogical, and historical research using primary source documents to uncover overlooked individuals, families, and communities.
Restore – Correct historical inaccuracies, preserve endangered historical resources, and document forgotten stories to ensure they become part of the permanent historical record.
Reconnect – Identify and engage living descendants, helping families rediscover their heritage and strengthen connections across generations.
Educate – Translate research into books, documentaries, public presentations, educational curricula, museum exhibits, historical markers, and digital resources that make history accessible to diverse audiences.
Inspire – Encourage communities, educators, researchers, and future generations to value historical preservation, genealogy, and a more complete understanding of the American story.
Through this integrated approach, the Alex Breanne Corporation transforms historical scholarship into measurable community impact, strengthening families, expanding public knowledge, and preserving historically marginalized voices for future generations.
Long-term Vision
The Alex Breanne Corporation envisions a future where every family has the opportunity to know its history and where the contributions of historically overlooked individuals are fully represented in America's collective memory. Over the next decade, the organization seeks to become a nationally recognized leader in public history by:
Conducting original archival and genealogical research that uncovers forgotten stories and reconnects descendants with their ancestors.
Producing documentaries, books, digital archives, and educational resources that make historical scholarship accessible to broad audiences.
Partnering with schools, museums, libraries, universities, and historical organizations to expand public understanding of African American history and the legacy of slavery.
Preserving endangered historical sites, cemeteries, and cultural landmarks connected to underrepresented communities.
Supporting descendant reunification initiatives that strengthen families and communities through historical discovery.
Developing educational programming that inspires future generations to value historical research, genealogy, and cultural preservation.
Serving as a trusted resource for communities seeking to document, preserve, and share their own local histories.
Through this work, the Alex Breanne Corporation seeks not only to preserve history, but to demonstrate how recovering forgotten lives can transform the living.
