Discover some of the many ways the rich diversity of African cultures has forged and enriched the American experience. Join us for fun, hands-on experiences and engaging performances. Pluck the strings of an African instrument, the predecessor of the Appalachian banjo. Savor samples of foods with African roots. Travel to other times and places, listening to a traditional storyteller. We’ll look back through our country’s history to gain a deeper appreciation for heroes, such as the Tuskegee Airmen, Jackie Robinson, Sojourner Truth and York, the African American member of Lewis & Clark’s Corps of Discovery. All activities are FREE with the cost of admission.
