The Our HBCUs Matter Mini-Museum is a captivating interactive experience that amplifies the history and significance of HBCUs. With touch screens, audio-visuals, and colorful displays of facts about HBCUs, this museum provides a gateway into the impact HBCUs have on the United States of America.
We travel to cities throughout the United States stationing the Museum activation for 4-5 Days, allowing for K-12 Schools, HBCU Students, and the Public to engage within the captivating Museum. Students participate within educational programming and learning curriculum about HBCUs, notable American figure who are HBCU Alumni, and STEAM activities.
Apart from providing education, HBCUs have been instrumental in fostering leadership within the African American community. These institutions have nurtured numerous leaders who have made significant contributions in various fields, including politics, law, science, and the arts. The environment at HBCUs, focused on empowerment and cultural affirmation, has been conducive to developing strong, confident professionals and leaders. Many notable figures in American history, who have contributed to social change and the advancement of civil rights, received their education at HBCUs.
