Honoring a Life Well-Lived
In lieu of flowers, the family would like to honor Flash’s memory and legacy with contributions to the Inkwell Society or The Dimock Center. Flash was a long-time supporter of both organizations, and they reflect Flash’s unrelenting commitment to advancing and uplifting the African American community.
Inkwell Society: Flash was a charter member of The Inkwell Society which promotes and funds Dr. Henry Louis Gates’s pipeline of films that examine the rich history of this country and the African American experience.
