Pop Up Traveling Museum Exhibit
A Stone of Hope: Black Experiences in the Fox Cities is a “pop-up museum” about local Black/African American history from the 1700s to the present. This exhibit features twelve banners, richly illustrated with photographs of individuals, including members of African Heritage, Inc. We proud to be a sponsor of this exhibit. It includes oral history videos of AHI members currently living in the area, demonstrating their experiences living in the area. This is part of American history or ourstory.
