Baton Rouge African American History Museum

Here's a sneak preview of some of our progress. New and improved African American Museum is currently loading!!

this is major!!!

Black twin sisters buy Woodland Plantation, site of the largest US uprising of enslaved people Jo Banner and Joy Banner, founders of The Descendants Project, acquired the Woodland Plantation in LaPlace, Louisiana.

The sisterhood between my mother and Ms Odell Williams gave birth to the African American museum. And now, two Black women, Mayor Sharon Weston Broome (who gave us the building) and C. Denise Marcelle (who fought to get us a sizable allotment from the city government) have come through to ensure that we're able to continue the museum's mission of cultural education.

I said all of this to say:
BLACK WOMEN ARE AMAZING!!!
