Mission
America’s Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) exists to educate the public of injustices suffered by people of African American heritage, while providing visitors with an opportunity to rethink their assumptions about race and racism.
Educational Focus
ABHM serves as a center for education related to the Black Holocaust and as a non-threatening forum for sharing thoughts about race and racism in America.
Exposing visitors to historical aspects of African American cultural identity is achieved through educational exhibits, special programming, and guided tours related to six distinct historic eras:
- Before Captivity in Africa
- The Middle Passage
- Slavery in the Americas
- Reconstruction
- Civil Rights
- and Modern Day Injustices
ABHM welcomes visitors of all races and backgrounds, and encourages “community” understanding of the nation’s history of racism, prejudice, social change and cross-cultural understanding.
