From Historic Sites that preserve the legacies of the Tuskegee Airmen and Frontiersmen at Nicodemus, to ones that tell the stories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mary McLeod Bethune and George Washington Carver, our National Parks are rich with African American history and more! Our mission at The African American Experience Fund is to connect all Americans to the considerable contributions of African Americans throughout our country's history that are commemorated and brought to life in our National Parks. Since 2001, we have raised private funds to support educational, volunteer and community engagement programs in the National Parks and Historic Sites that honor and tell the story of the African American Experience.
By visiting these sites and supporting The African American Experience Fund, you ensure future generations will be able to experience some of America’s most magnificent cultural treasures and learn about our diverse American history. |
