Fun Food and More!

Our 1 Year Anniversary on January 14, 2024 was a beautiful event. 

We express heartfelt gratitude to our Legacy Founder Investors for their continuous support during our inaugural year and before our museum opening. Special thanks to our Founders, Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Oral and Legacy Historians, Volunteers, Interns, Staff, and all generous donors. Your support has played a vital role in bringing cultural richness to life and creating a space that respects our traditions. Thank you for believing in our vision; your contributions will have a lasting impact. This has been a year of sharing history, learning, and community.

We also celebrate Bob and Beverely for their achievements in the Museum’s inaugural year! We commend their exemplary leadership, dedication, and philanthropy. Sincere appreciation for their unwavering commitment to preserving and promoting African American history and culture, establishing Arizona’s First African American Museum. Their visionary leadership, boundless generosity, and selfless dedication as full-time volunteer positions and legacy founders have shaped the museum into a beacon of knowledge and inspiration. May their achievements continue to inspire generations to come!
