Association of African American Museums

The Association of African American Museums (AAAM) will increase capacity within the African American museum field by implementing an in-depth professional development program based on findings from a recently completed needs assessment. The program will enable a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) graduate student fellow to join the AAAM team and participate in learning and growth opportunities that will deepen understanding of the concerns of the field. The skills and expertise developed during this fellowship will result in a fully equipped museum professional prepared to occupy an impactful role within the community.
