Who We Are

The African American Registry® is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit education organization established in 1999 by Benjamin Mchie.

African American Registry (the Registry) is a non-profit educational organization. Our mission is:  “Uniting Communities through Education, Transforming Communities through Learning.” Founded by Benjamin Mchie, the Registry went online in the summer of 2000. We have the most comprehensive repository of African American heritage in the world. We (currently) produce two educational products; our wall calendar Black Heritage/365 and our ‘go fish’ card game Fishing the Registry for ages 8 and up.
