A landmark traveling exhibit that made its first stop in Dallas as part of the updated exhibit’s U.S. tour. The exhibit tells the many untold stories of slavery that took place at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello home and plantation. The exhibit examines Jefferson’s views, actions and inaction on slavery, while also focusing on the six enslaved individuals and families that lived and worked on his plantation. More than 300 objects, works of art, documents and artifacts were showcased throughout the galleries at the African American Museum. The updated exhibition includes a special feature on Sally Hemings, offering an in-depth look at her life.
The DTPID’s annual funding has been vital for the African American Museum of Dallas, helping us to reach a diverse array of visitors from across North Texas and beyond. The funding has supported our marketing efforts, showcasing the museum as a place of celebration and transformation, and bringing to life a part of American history rarely told.Dr. Harry Robinson, Jr., President and CEOAfrican American Museum
