“We’ve got to be able to dig into whatever Black people have dug into for the last 400 years in this country that’s allowed us to survive. That’s each other, our stories of resilience, and our rich culture.” – Dr. Rev. Alex Gee

Alexander Gee has spent a lifetime using his unique voice to inspire, educate, and advocate on behalf of the Black community in — and well beyond — Madison.
