Welcome to  NAAHBCU’s traveling exhibition “The USA's 250th Anniversary Through the Black Experience.”

​

NAAHBCU, a nonprofit art organization for professional artists from HBCUs, joins the country in proudly commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which established certain principles of self-government and equality on July 4, 1776   with the statement that,  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that their Creator endows them with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” However African Americans didn’t realize immediately this vision statement of freedom, it took 87 years for African Americans to taste their “unalienable Rights” and an additional 100 year of protest to receive a share of the vision.

​

This exhibition visually reflects the African Americans' experience under the statement that "all men are created equal and  endowed with certain unalienable Rights." 

​

NAAHBCU appreciates the African American Panoramic Experience Museum (APEX) for hosting this momentous exhibition.
