Restoration of our heritage
Heritage as a living foundation.
GETC aims to restore and protect Black heritage that has been lost or weakened in modern society.
The organisation describes four connected categories: heritage, culture, tradition and customs. Together, these include heritage sites and natural resources such as trees, herbs, rivers and mountains, as well as ancestral connections and history.
