Support The Renovation &
Re-Opening Fund

We are continuing to research the history of Selma & it's role in the slave trade & the civil war and also our unique stories as African & Native descendants in the diaspora. We are always seeking funding for our many projects including the addition of an underground railroad exhibit to explore & teach the escape routes & methods of out-smarting the slave catchers & bounty hunters on the way to freedom
