Adam F.C. Fletcher is a local grassroots historian who has taken it upon himself to research many of the significant aspects of North Omaha. He is known for his Facebook and web page postings of important African American locations in North Omaha, and his information can be found on his webpage. Adams has written several books on
various topics. He lives in Olympia, Washington.

Adam's primary interest is helping to document events, locations, and buildings in North Omaha. There are other amateur historians in the community. Still, one task that Adam did was to focus on Matthew Stelly, who was a community advocate for many years andvdied a few years ago. There was little fanfare about his passing in the media despite his work. Adam did a ten-page obit on Matthew. Even the Black Studies Department, where he taught for many years, did not provide any tribute to Matthew. A program that has existed for years is called Making Histories Visible, The Black Museum, The Malcolm X Memorial Foundation, Black Studies, and others. What is your relationship with those traditional Black history-type promulgation organizations?
