Founded over 14 years ago, Dogon Village is a grassroots site dedicated to providing a vehicle for Blacks of the Diaspora to get the word out to the community globally.

Dogon is read “Dog-On” by some and Dogon by others. We believe that it takes a Dog-On Village to raise a child and that proper education requires a thorough knowledge of history including the ancient Dogon tribe of Mali located in the Homburi Mountains just outside of Timbuktu. Children, elders and technically savvy remember to click on the “Dog On” Village and upon arrival, encounter an experience that informs, educates, motivates, validates, and invigorates.

The Dogon Village Digital Hit Squad (DHS) partners with civic organizations to help encourage citizens to register and vote. In 2000, the DHS made history successfully mobilizing the Black Community in Phoenix Arizona for the first legally sanctioned online elections ever. The DHS set up computer access in barber shops, churches, and community centers allowing people to register and vote online. Featured in USA Today, the DHS was credited with contributing to a historic increase in voter turnout.
