African American Experience Fund
Our national parks are rich with African American history, from historic sites that preserve the legacies of the Tuskegee Airmen and Frontiersmen at Nicodemus, to those that tell the stories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mary McLeod Bethune, George Washington Carver and more! These and hundreds of other national parks and historic sites speak to the important role of African Americans in building America.
The mission of the African American Experience Fund of the National Park Foundation is to connect Americans from all walks of life to the considerable contributions of African Americans throughout our country’s history by raising private funds to support educational, volunteer and community engagement programs in national parks and historic sites that celebrate and tell the story of American history and culture.
