Digital Learning Day and Black History Month Begins!
February 1st marks two important occasions here at the Museum: the beginning of Black History Month and Digital Learning Day. Keeping with the national mission of the Museum, the education department strives to provide materials, lessons, and meaningful programs to students and teachers across the country. One way we accomplish this is through the digital platform of videoconferences and webinars.

To commemorate the Black History Month, we’re hosting a special FREE webinar on February 16th for students called “Fighting for a Double Victory.” Classrooms around the nation will connect with us to hear about the acts of heroism, struggles, and triumphs of African Americans at home and abroad. We’ll explore the Double Victory campaign through the lens of blues singer Josh White’s “Uncle Sam Says” and “Defense Factory Blues.” Be sure to connect with us this month while we trace the historic path from segregation to integration in the military and beyond.

Edward "Swarovski" James says:
I just returned from New Orleans but I was not aware of your Museum. Sorry I missed it as it seems to cover a lot of the part that Black Americans played in World War II. I lived for years near Ypsilanti Michigan where there was a museum for the Tuskegee Airmen and their old planes located at the airport.
I now live in Philadelphia downtown so I am only one block from the African American museum at Arch and 7th streets.
Sorry I missed your museum.
Edward
