Our Director of Administration

Ms. Lewis manages ATHP's collaborative strategizing, community outreach, and business 

processes, including media production. In 2025 she coordinated the relocation of ATHP headquarters from Lexington, Ky., to Washington, D.C. 

In 2020, she produced ATHP's program Timothy L. Jenkins Reflects on Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, Howard University's First Black President. She served in higher education for 16 years in various  capacities, including as Kentucky State University’s director of Auxiliary  Services, and in 2018, she was honored as one of the Top 25 Women in Higher Education by The EduLedger.

In the early 2000s, at the University of Kentucky, she was instrumental in the roles of director of membership sales and marketing for the university and country clubs, and office coordinator for the Staff Senate, assistant to the chair in the Department of Educational Leadership Studies, 

and she led multiple committees impacting the entire campus community. Lewis serves in the Lyman T. Johnson (LTJ) UK Alumni Constituency Group, as well as the LTJ Foundation as a charter member, and in 2021, she founded Segue, a professional profile and higher 

education consultancy. 

Holly was inducted into Marquis Who’s Who in 2025 for contributions to African-American historic preservation and education leadership, and she is most gratified by her efforts that led to and influenced policy and  programming to benefit all stakeholders, including transformative work resulting in the  restructuring of Kentucky State University (KSU) in 2022, led by Governor Andy Beshear.

Holly is an active member of her local church and the daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter of Baptist preachers who were honored activists in the Civil Rights Movement. She is joyfully married to her husband and they share a blended family of four daughters, 

four sons, and seven grandsons.

Holly holds an Ed.M. from Harvard University in Education Leadership with a focus on higher education. A fourth-generation collegian, she is also an alumna of Spelman College, where she majored in English and sang in the Glee Club. She later joined the U.S. Army as a Legal Specialist at Ft. Bliss, Texas, and went on to earn a B.S. degree in business management and ethics with high honors from Asbury University. 

ATHP is actively seeking to hire a contract artist who produces historical renderings to develop visual assets for the public presentations of ATHP. The artist will be a professional artist known for portraits and architectural renderings.

Mr. Jones is a historian, attorney, and historic preservationist whose work centers on protecting African-American places, institutions, and memory. An interventionist, he established ATHP in 2017, concurrently with the celebration of his 40th birthday in his native Lexington, Ky.,  devoting considerable resources to preserving historically significant but vulnerable Black churches, neighborhoods, civic sites, and cultural landscapes by applying political power. 

Through that leadership, he has advanced preservation strategies that combine legal advocacy, community partnership, fundraising, and long-range stewardship planning. His work emphasizes not only saving historic structures, but also safeguarding the stories, traditions, and civic meaning embedded within them. Jones is especially committed to elevating sites that illuminate Black religious life, self-determination, education, and public leadership across generations. In this role, he brings together historical interpretation, institutional strategy, and preservation advocacy to strengthen the enduring legacy of African-American heritage.
