G.E.M.S/Jewels Fall Event
Visit to "America I AM Exhibit" |
|
Greetings G.E.M.S/Jewels Member, Parents, Family and Friends! |
GEMS/JEWELS invites you join us for our 1st Fall Event!
We are thrilled to kick off our fall season and explore African American History.
Ladies come ready to explore America I AM: The African American Imprint, a four year touring museum exhibition that celebrates nearly 500 years of African American contributions to this country!
America I AM provides an opportunity for people from all walks of life to explore this uniquely American story. With the nation's first African American president, America I AM endeavors to bring together Americans of all backgrounds to achieve a greater understanding of their shared culture and history.
Scholar W.E.B. Du Bois once wrote, "Would America have been America without her Negro people?"
To examine the answer to that question, AMERICA I AM: The African American Imprint is mounted as the broadest museum exhibition of its kind. An assembly of poignant artifacts representing nearly 500 years of American history, the exhibition will convey and celebrate the undeniable imprint African Americans have had on the country and the world.
