WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
REMEMBERING OUR HISTORY.

Welcome to The Museum of African American History! We are New England’s largest
museum dedicated to preserving, conserving and interpreting the contributions of
African Americans. In Boston and Nantucket, the Museum has preserved two
historic sites and two Black Heritage Trails® that tell the story of organized
Black communities from the Colonial Period through the 19th century. Exhibits,
programs, and education activities at the Museum showcase the powerful stories
of Black families who worshipped, educated their children, debated the issues of
the day, produced great art, organized politically and advanced the cause of
freedom.



ABOUT THE MUSEUM

"In every human Beast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of
Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance."

- Phillis Wheatley, African American Poet

"For over 200 years, the African Meeting House has served as one of the nation’s
most important and influential centers of cultural and political discourse
around racial equality. Today, the Museum of African American History invokes
this important history—in the very place it happened—to open new conversations
around racial equity... and expand its narrative of Black and other social
justice activists. … and underscore how their courage, as they united across
race and class in the struggle for human rights, ushered in modern democracy."

- Melissa MacDonnell, Liberty Mutual Foundation President
