BACKSTORY:
Dedicated to spreading knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the histories, arts and cultures of people of African descent for the enrichment of all, the Northwest African American Museum accomplishes its mission by working with others to present and preserve the connections between the Pacific Northwest and people of African descent and to investigate and celebrate Black experiences in America through exhibitions, programs and events.
Thanks in part to a Heritage Capital Projects grant from the Washington State Historical Society, the Northwest African American Museum continues to foster lifelong learning opportunities for all ages through a variety of multidisciplinary programs centered around its exhibitions.
