Legacy Museum of African American History Celebrates 10th anniversary

The Legacy Museum of African American History has celebrated it’s 10th anniversary.

From its opening in 2000, Legacy has collected, preserved, documented and interpreted the history and culture of Central Virginia’s African America.

For it’s tenth anniversary exhibition, Legacy collectors have chosen objects and images of particular power and resonance from past exhibitions. In oral history interviews, many conducted by young people, collectors have talked about these “evocative objects.” Over the years, dozens of such objects, each with its own story, have represented local African American history and culture.
