  “Standing on the Shoulders Fund”

  AAMP has launched the Standing on the Shoulders campaign, a historic community campaign to raise $2 million for our new core exhibit and capital improvements to our facility.

  The campaign reflects our appreciation for the accomplishments and sacrifices of previous generations of African Americans and how we intend to honor them through the development of the core exhibit set to open in the early summer of 2009.  The exhibit will tell the story of African Americans in Philadelphia for a 100 year period (1770 – 1870).

  To donate to the campaign click on the logo below or mail your donation to:
