National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center

The National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center (NAAMCC)
reopened on January 26, 2013. With the reopening, the NAAMCC opened a new art exhibit, "How I Got Over,"
which showcases how African Americans have used art to mobilize communities. The exhibit title comes from the song sung by gospel singer and civil rights activist Mahalia Jackson after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Find directions to the NAAMCC and contact information at the bottom of this page.



(Please excuse our virtual mess! We are renovating this page, much like we renovated our building.)
