The LATIBAH (Life and Times in Black American History) Museum
LATIBAH Collard Green Museum originates in Charlotte, NC. We are currently without a physical location. Nevertheless LATIBAH can come to you and your organization. T find out about our awesome outreach programs please visit, www.LATIBAHMuseum.org/programs
Once our physical location is re-established it will be of comprised of a collection of installations, exhibits and artifacts of fine art and cultural history. You will be captivated as you view the life-size, 'slices of life' that depict African-Americans as they have strived for survival in a developing “civil” society.
One will experience the museum and be emotionally moved by the visual representations that cover centuries of significant historical eras from the enslavement of Africans through the American systems of slavery, reconstruction, and integration to the 44th President of the United States of America.
LATIBAH exists to educate the public on the historical periods that impacted African Americans and both contributed to and were a result of the cultural development in their struggle to overcome the oppression of enslavement and inequality. As a history museum, LATIBAH serves as a center for education on the significant times and events of Black America’s cultural development. Everyone is encouraged to experience a cross-cultural understanding of the shared traditions, influences, and contributions.
Educational exposure to these historical developments will be achieved through:
■ Creative, interactive programming,
■ Docent-led tours of the distinct historic eras visually recreated through the
installations,
■ Multimedia documentaries, and
■ Historic artifacts.
Although Tours are currently unavailable, we however are currently offering educational outreach programming.
