  • National Museum of African American Heritage and Culture – Smithsonian Institute:

The only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture.

It was established by Act of Congress in 2003, following decades of efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of   African Americans.
To date, the Museum has collected more than 36,000 artifacts and nearly 100,000 individuals have become members. 

It provides an opportunity for those who are interested in African American culture to explore and revel in this history through interactive exhibitions. It helps all Americans see how their stories, their histories, and their cultures are shaped and informed by global influences 

It explores what it means to be an American and share how American values like resiliency, optimism, and spirituality are reflected in African American history and culture 

It serves as a place of collaboration that reaches beyond Washington, D.C. to engage new audiences and to work with the myriad of museums and educational institutions that have explored and preserved this important history well before this museum was created.
