We are happy to announce that during the summer, on four Tuesdays, we are planning to show movies in our auditorium, on AAHA’s lower level, designed for youth but interesting to adults as well. Our interns, Madison Canterbury and Emily Nolan, are selecting stories from our archives that tell of African Americans and events of history under the theme of African American Resistance, which is the 2023 theme for African American History month. Their lengths vary from 30-60 minutes.

Admission is free, but donations are always welcome.
