The goal of HOMAG is to raise awareness of the contributions of ALL African-Americans, not only those national leaders that we hear and read about everyday on the news or in our history books, but more specifically, those unsung, local leaders

Henry Kirklin and an unknown child in the garden.
Kirklin was a former slave who became a prize-winning gardener and horticulturalist. He may have been the first Black person to teach at the University of Missouri, but he did so in an informal, unofficial capacity, as the university did not allow Blacks to hold official teaching positions during his lifetime.
Since he was not allowed to teach in a classroom, he taught outside in the open air. It was reported that “hundreds of students learned the fine art of pruning and grafting” from Kirklin.
