Tubman African American Museum

	Map		Reviews

In 1981, Father Richard Keil looked at the rich diversity of Macon, Georgia and saw to his dismay that there was no monument recognizing the achievements and tribulations of the African American experience in the United States.

Keil sought to build a cultural center in Middle Georgia that would foster race relations through knowledge and understanding that our common ground is stronger than our differences. It was to his fortune that he found a diverse coalition of people who believed such a cultural center could exist and thrive in the Deep South. The Museum now houses fourteen galleries including the world class Noel Collection of African Art. This collection includes 2,000-year-old Nok figures, beaded Yoruba wall panels, and Benin bronzes. Other galleries housed in the Museum are devoted to a range of aspects of black American life. From the cuisine of Africa and America in the Soul on Rice Gallery to the Local History Gallery to the Military Leaders Gallery, the Museum has sought to preserve the turbulent but triumphant experience of blacks in America.
