The African-American Migration Experience (AAME)

Until recently, people of African descent have not been counted as part of America's migratory tradition. The transatlantic slave trade has created an enduring image of black men and women as transported commodities, and is usually considered the most defining element in the construction of the African Diaspora, but it is centuries of additional movements that have given shape to the nation we know today. This is the story that has not been told.

Museum of Black Innovations & Inventions

Throughout the history of the United States, far too little attention and recognition has been given to the many inventions of Black people. All of the Black Inventors, men and women presented here are an example of the creativity, aspirations and struggles that have shaped our country. Each of them has made a contribution to the industrial, technological, social and economic progress of America. They were part of its making, and when all Americans, young and old, blacks and whites, come to know these men and women, we will have a greater understanding and respect for America and all of its citizens.
