What does it mean to be African American in the Pacific Northwest? It is a beautiful range of colors and hues -- a diversity of experiences and locations. African Americans come from a variety of countries of origin, both known and unknown representing an assortment of religions, a staggering array of occupations, a multitude of co-workers, neighbors, friends and families, and an ever evolving community that continues to shape and reshape the human experience in the Pacific Northwest region. The Northwest African American Museum invites you to explore this continually changing story, for it is yours, it is mine, it is all of ours.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has generously agreed to match donations on a 1:1 basis up to $100,000 in 2012. Please help us ensure the success of our Museum by donating now.
Do you know an African American woman who is doing amazing things in the Greater Seattle/Tacoma area? Nominate her for a Freedom's Sisters Award from the Ford Motor Company Fund before February. Twenty women will be chosen to recieve Freedom's Sisters Awards and anyone can submit a nomination. The award ceremony will take place at the Northwest African American Museum in March 2012.
