African American Museum in Philadelphia

Join the African American Museum in Philadelphia for a dynamic day of history, music, art, and community. Visitors are invited to wander the galleries with Revolutionary War hero Ned Hector, who will share stories from his life and his time as a soldier. Step back in time with photographer Maurene Cooper, who will create 19th-century-style tintype portraits of visitors for free (pre-registration required at aampmuseum.org). Feel the rhythm with MadBeatz Philly on the plaza outside the Museum with live drumming from 3:30–5:30 p.m. Then, gather for a powerful fireside chat exploring the roles and legacies of Black and Indigenous communities during the Revolutionary era. Admission is free all day. Don’t miss it!
