The Museum will showcase the Black Legends Hall of Fame, a permanent recognition of these Black Pioneers, as well as the contributions of Black Americans in America throughout the development of this country. Initially we will have a virtual museum while we gather support and contributions to be able to acquire and develop a physical facility.
