The Legacy Institute was founded by Terran Rome in 2020. He noticed the lack of care given to black people compared to other racial groups. The organization offers programs and events to children and their parents to learn about black history, financial empowerment, patience, strategy through chess, real estate, leadership, debate, personal development, and more subjects that are often not taught at regular schools. They give the opportunity to the parents to learn new skills because they can encourage their children to continue learning.

Terran founded this organization to take it upon himself to cultivate change and share knowledge and resources to see his community excel. The mission of The Legacy Institute is to help children build a legacy to eventually pass down to future generations with efforts to advance the African American community.

The Legacy Institute’s new program classes begin March 9, 2024 and ends May 4, 2024.
