Help Preserve Our Black History & Build the Future Today.

Baba Khalif believed that the restoration and repair of Black people begins with truth, knowing who we are, where we come from, and what we have contributed to the world. For him, cultural identity wasn’t a luxury. It was medicine. And the museum was his offering to the community: a place where history is reclaimed, memory is honored, and every visitor is reminded that they come from greatness.


There are three pathways to carry his mission forward: supporting the museum’s daily operations, investing in the scholarship that uplifts our youth, or contributing to the Legacy & Endowment Fund that preserves this truth for generations.
