Welcome to America's Black Holocaust Museum
July 29, 2008, Milwaukee, WI - The Board of Directors for America's Black Holocaust Museum announced today that the museum will temporarily close its doors in order to reconfigure its operations. Reggie Jackson, Board Chair for America's Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) said the institution has been impacted by the economy and part of the museum's reconfiguration will focus on developing a new fundraising plan. Jackson said ABHM does not have an endowment and relies strictly on individual donations and corporate philanthropy. ABHM is in discussions with its lender and with the City of Milwaukee Department of City Development to retain the museum's building at its current location. Jackson said that during its temporary closure, ABHM will restructure its educational development and complete the cataloguing of the museum's archives. "Though we may be temporarily closed to the public, we will continue the museum's mission through aggressive outreach to the community to raise funds and ensure that this national museum remains open," said Jackson. America's Black Holocaust Museum exists for the community, and we want you to continue investing in the organization. As ABHM moves forward, we will keep the community updated and respond to inquiries about progress toward our joint goals of fundraising, board restructuring, and educational development. |
