FEATURED EXHIBIT
Serving in the Shadows: Black Soldiers in Segregated America
The APEX Museum’s Serving in the Shadows: Black Soldiers in Segregated America exhibition explores more than two centuries of African American military service, sacrifice, and resilience. From colonial militias to the integration of the U.S. Armed Forces, the exhibit highlights the courage and contributions of Black service members whose fight for freedom abroad often mirrored the struggle for equality at home. Through historic narratives and spotlighted military units, visitors experience a powerful journey through patriotism, perseverance, and progress.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
The APEX Museum joined the music duo R&B at their concert on April 5. We were able to donate a saxophone that Billye and Hank Aaron donated to the museum to the Kilgore Music Foundation.
