America I AM: the African American Imprint July 15, 2009

This exhibit celebrates 400 years of African American contributions to this country. Featuring more than 300 artifacts culled from every period of U.S. history, the exhibit will include objects, texts, religion, music, narration and media. An interactive component of the exhibition will allow visitors to leave their own video "imprints," and this collection will grow throughout the life of the exhibit to become the largest recorded oral history project in U.S. history.
