Our Luncheon is Postponed

 Out of care and respect for the health of our founder, Khalif Rasshan, the African American Museum of Beginnings has made the hard decision to postpone our Celebration & Awards Luncheon.  We are deeply grateful for the love and support our community has shown. 


While the luncheon is postponed, the Museum’s work continues. Those who wish to honor Khalif’s legacy may support the Khalif Rasshan Family Scholarship, or provide ongoing monthly support to the Museum during this season.  Thank you for your understanding, grace, and continued support.
