Even though we are stuck on the inside, we have a duty to preserve our cultural centers that are the source of telling our history.

Colonizers steal our history and then ask us to pay for the privilege. It is one of the tactics white supremacy uses to keep us uneducated.

How many low income people of color can afford tickets to a museum? How many low income people of color are taught that museums are even a resource of knowledge?

They don't want us to know who we are because we might wake up and realize who we don't need.

AAAM 2017: The Voice of the Black Museum Movement

Photo: An Educational Vision, Dr. Charles H. Wright’s traveling International Afro-American Museum, 1966, courtesy of the Archives and Research Library of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. 

Before the 1960s, majority-run museums, like the media and schools, generally ignored or demeaned African American history and culture. Individual black collectors had preserved objects that documented black achievements and experiences, but there were few public displays of the material. 

In the late 1960s, Dr. Margaret Burroughs, founder of the DuSable Museum in Chicago, and Dr. Charles H. Wright of the Museum of African American History in Detroit initiated a series of conferences for Black museums. The National Association of Museums and Cultural Organizations and the Black Museums Conference, the first informal Black museum association, evolved from these conferences. In 1978, a consortium of six Black Museums, with funding from the National Museum Act (administered by the Smithsonian Institution), presented a series of conferences at participating institutions. The conferences provided the opportunity to lay the groundwork for yet another organization. Under the chairmanship of E. Barry Gaither, the committee prepared by-laws, which were ratified in Detroit in February of 1978. The new organization adopted the name “African American Museums Association” (AAMA), and elected its first governing council. AAMA’s first office was at the Museum of the National Center for Afro-American Artists in Boston, Massachusetts.

Now known as the Association of African American Museums (AAAM), the AAAM has focused on identifying the composition and needs of its constituents and the larger African American museum community, aided by the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) on the number of projects to survey the field and implement strategic planning process for the Association.

Our Museum is honored to host the AAAMs 39th Annual Conference from July 31–Aug. 4th. This conference brings together over 500 leaders of African American and African-descent museums and cultural centers from across the country, the Caribbean and Latin America to engage in a series of academic sessions, speakers, authors’ dialogues and visits to cultural institutions around the Washington area.

Things To Do_The AMAZING ATLAS ADVENTURE RACE

I’m going to start sharing fun things to do around the grid more! I am a volunteer with Meroe Museum and I feel very passionate and dedicated to the cause of bringing the diaspora together and also teaching the true history of our people to those with eyes to see and ears to listen. The AMAZING ATLAS ADVENTURE RACE, is a unique endurance race combining problem solving skills and adventure from around the grid. Coming in December! Stay tuned for more! You can try the challenge as a solo person or a group. Earn the medal showing you completed the toughest race in SL.

All proceeds go to UHURU Programs for black girls in STEM. Tickets 3k a person, discount for groups. “WHAT IS STEM?”

glad you asked.

You've likely heard the term STEM, but what does it stand for? STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. And together they make up a popular and fast-growing industry.

Most STEM workers use computers and other technology in their day-to-day jobs. Many also use the scientific method to test hypotheses and theories.
