Despite historical obstacles, these collections reflect generations of Black intellectual and creative excellence. Through a shared mission and vision, HBCUs and their repositories demonstrate an unwavering belief in the value of education and the power of telling one’s own story. NMAAHC’s efforts to augment the digitization and visibility of collections from its five HBCU partners are a testament to the enduring significance of these institutions in the fabric of American history.

Through this process, we are creating a commonality in museum practice. Even for students, they are learning, they are getting this training so when they apply to another institution, they are bringing learned experience with them.HCAC MUSEUM DIRECTOR
