It examines artifacts from West Africa that demonstrate the art, history and culture of the regions; African Americans’ Southern legacy, the Great Migration West and provides insights into the unique art and cultural contributions that African Americans made in opening the Western frontier. Other exhibits chronicle various aspects of 20th century African American life and history.
