"History Has Been Made,
Now It Is Up To Us To Preserve It"
Don't miss this cultural gem in the scenic city of the south. Just
off I-24 and I-75, north of Atlanta, the Chattanooga African American
Museum is a motherlode of information about the African experience in
the world, in America, and of course in Chattanooga.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Museum

1983, sources in curricula, historical references, creative works, and
the media about the identity of African Americans were limited and
inaccessible to the average student or individual.
