Dear Charter Members and Friends of the Museum,

The museum regrets to announce the postponement of the July 2012 Save Our African American Treasures program scheduled at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York City.

Discussion is underway to establish a new date. Once the date has been confirmed, we will post it on our website at www.nmaahc.si.edu under Programs.

We look forward to bringing Save Our African American Treasures to New York City soon.

Occupy Black America …The Black Institute

10/20/2011 Nativegrl77 1 Comment

Black celebrities such as Kanye West, Russell Simmons and Danny Glover have publicly supported the Occupy movement, but even with such an endorsement, Black people have had relatively low attendance. Some believe this is in part because when Black people turn on their televisions or search the web, they look out into the crowd and see mostly white faces. This gives Black Americans the sense that the protests are not about them. However, someone must take the first step. If Black people want to see themselves in the movement, Black people have to put themselves in the movement.
