Kansas African American Museum, Inc.

The Kansas African American Museum will collaborate with ten sites in a statewide partnership to establish a Kansas African American History Trail. A project manager will be hired to coordinate activities, which include providing signage at each historic site; establishing a responsive design website for use with mobile devices; creating marketing materials; and organizing a year of events at each site. The project will also include a pilot two-day youth fieldtrip touring the trail. This project will expand the museum's reach and mission to every region of the state, build a statewide partnership with other institutions for mutual benefit, and grow the market of potential visitors, members, and donors. The establishment of a partnership of Kansas African American historic and cultural organizations will strengthen the partner organizations, while raising public awareness about the historic contributions of African Americans, creating a sense of shared history with Kansans of every race.
