Our mission is to open minds and change lives through the exploration and celebration of African American history, experiences and culture through art education and outreach.

Our vision is of a world in which the adversity and achievement of African American history inspire everyone toward a greater understanding of acceptance and unity!

In 1996, Shonna McDaniels, a visual artist and community activist, envisioned an institution to preserve Black history and celebrate the accomplishments of African American people and their legacy.

As a result the previous name of Sojourner Truth Multicultural Art Museum changed to Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum. We offer resources to document, preserve and educate the public on the history, life and culture of African Americans.

The museum is named for Sojourner Truth who, although born a slave, worked tirelessly for abolition, women's rights, non-violence, and civil and economic advancement of oppressed people. The museum gives homage to Mrs. Sojourner by expanding the historical & biographical knowledge of her life's work and carrying on her mission by teaching, demonstrating and promoting projects that accentuate the ideals and principles for which she stood.
