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 Rvenue Service. This made it possible for contributors to receive a tax deduction for their contributions. Some African and American works from the museum's collection.
ALL events are free to the public.
You are invited to become a member of the Afro-American Historical Society Museum. Your Contribution will help us to preserve our present material collections and secure other collections on the contributions of African Americans.
