How Many Collections of Art Have Been Added to the Hampton University Museum Since 1978?

An example of an African American museum: The Dr. Carter Thousand. Woodson African American History Museum. Woodson was the founder of Black History Calendar month, and a noted educator.

This is a list of museums in the United States whose principal focus is on African American culture and history. Such museums are ordinarily known as African American museums. According to scholar Raymond Doswell, an African American museum is "an institution established for the preservation of African-derived culture."^[1]

Museums take a mission of "collecting and preserving cloth on history and cultural heritage." African American museums share these goals with archives, genealogy groups, historical societies, and inquiry libraries.^[2] Museums differ from archives, genealogy groups, historical societies, memorials, and inquiry libraries because they have equally a basic educational or aesthetic purpose the collection and brandish of objects, and regular exhibitions for the public.^[3] Being open up to the public (not just researchers or past engagement) and having regular hours sets museums apart from historical sites or other facilities that may call themselves museums.^[iii]

History of African American museums in the United States [edit]

An exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Museums non just collect and preserve historic and cultural textile, their basic purpose is educational or aesthetic.

The first African American museum was the College Museum in Hampton, Virginia, established in 1868.^[two] Prior to 1950, at that place were about 30 museums devoted to African American culture and history in the United states. These were located primarily at historically black colleges and universities or at libraries that had significant African American culture and history collections.^[4]

Important collections were developed at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina; Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee; Howard University in Washington, D.C.; Lincoln University in Chester County, Pennsylvania; Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland; Talladega College in Talladega, Alabama; and Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama.^[5] Additionally, local historical societies, history clubs, and reading groups in African American communities also collected and displayed African American cultural artifacts.^[vi]

The first independent, nonprofit African American museums in the United States were The African American Museum in Cleveland, Ohio (founded in 1956), the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago, Illinois (founded in 1960), and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, Michigan (founded in 1965). Throughout the 1960s, the energy of the American Civil Rights Movement led to numerous local African American museums being founded.^[iv] Between 1868 and 1991, there were about 150 African American museums established in 37 states.^[2]

Since its opening in 2016, the largest African American museum in the United States is the Smithsonian Establishment's National Museum of African American History and Culture. The previous tape holder was the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, Michigan.^[7]
