We’re here to capture the stories and the history because that’s how we bridge with the youth.
Garry Wiley Jr. is a proud North Carolinian, father, community builder, and Board President of the African American Cultural Arts & History Center.
He comes from a long line of North Carolina natives and he has always had a passion for giving back to his community. He started his career at UNCG working in behavioral health. He worked with children and adults with mental illness and substance abuse issues. This work led him to working the NAACP as the youth chair.
Following his passion for helping and educating his community, Wiley took over for the late Jane Sellar as the Board President of the African American Cultural Arts & History Center. Here, he continues Sellar’s mission to inform the greater community, specifically the youth, about Alamance County’s rich Black history.
