Lakeland Community Heritage Project’s mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret the heritage and history of those African Americans who created, lived in, and/or had association with the Lakeland community of Prince George’s County, Maryland from the late 19th century to the present.

We are seeking photos and memorabilia of Lakeland to add to our collections. Please contact us if you have items you would be willing to share. For more information, contact Diane Ligon at lakelandhistory@yahoo.com or 301-441-1697.

We have recently completed a book, “Lakeland: African-Americans in College Park” with Arcadia Publishing. If you are interested in hosting a signing, a lecture, or purchasing a copy please contact us.
