Established with a mission to educate, inspire, and empower, AAWMAH serves as a vibrant cultural hub where history, art, and community intersect.

At AAWMAH, we believe in the power of storytelling and the importance of diverse narratives. Our exhibits not only celebrate renowned figures but also shed light on the untold stories of unsung heroes whose contributions have shaped our society. We are committed to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of African-American women's experiences and their enduring legacy.
