The Dred Scott Heritage Foundation

The Dred Scott Heritage Foundation, founded in 2007, is dedicated to:
1) “support the acknowledgment of the 150th Anniversary of the Dred Scott Decision and support the attendant commemorative events that will mark this momentous occasion.”
2) “be a vehicle for expanding the learning opportunities for individuals to be more educated about this case, its impact on slavery and the history of our nation.”
3) “support the community as it proceeds to evaluate the lessons learned from the 2007 recognition. Many racial reconciliation issues continue to go unresolved and many successes go unheralded.”

The site includes a brief overview of the case, but is more focused on the social impact of this ruling on African Americans and whites.
