RushmoreDrive was launched in April 2008 and was the first search engine for the Black community. It was co-founded by Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., Kevin McFall, and Brad Gebert[1][2] It delivered a blend of mainstream search results plus a layer of more relevant search results influenced by the Black community.[3][4]

RushmoreDrive News was a tool that enabled the Black community to find news headlines from the entire World Wide Web, including well known Black media, blogs and countless relevant on-line voices, as well as recognized mainstream news sources.[5]

The search engine was closed in 2009.[6]
