It also encouraged the further development of the historical and cultural African American exhibitions and programs. In the beginning the committee operated with very little financial help to obtain artifacts, set up exhibitions or educate itself in regards to preservation techniques and practices. In 1977, in an effort to increase its income, the committee was incorporated. It applied for and received exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. This made it possible for contributors to receive a tax deduction for their contributions.
ALL events are free to the public.
