We would like to introduce you to the first African American Museum in Southern Arizona. Our mission is to share and educate the community about the impactful stories, images, and artifacts as we document, digitize, and preserve African American and Black life, culture, and history in Southern Arizona. Our vision is to serve as a resource and to provide the community with an applied and virtual venue and repository for stories, histories, and cultural contributions by African Americans and Blacks in Southern Arizona. We also want to share and support social justice issues that have been historically a challenge for African Americans. I will share a information that we have on our website and at the museum.
