$500,00 Grant Supports Collaborative Project  The
Institute of Museum and
Library Services announced their national leadership grants and the
Museum is among them with the largest in Massachusetts, an award of
$500,000! The Boston Public Library and the Museum have taken the success of
our “Black Books: The First African American Authors” exhibit and turned it
into a sustainable partnership for the celebration of the bicentennials of
William Lloyd Garrison 2005 and the African Meeting House 2006. WGBH is also
an important partner in this collaboration, working with us on the exhibits,
curriculum and web site development. This collaboration and the success of this grant proposal places the Museum of African American history in a new realm of opportunity for the scholarship, marketing and resource development of the museum. |
