The Nichols Mobile African American History Museum:
I have
spent many years traveling and studying the history of
African American life. In this time I have come to the
conclusion that this is a story of struggles and successes.
I have created The Nichols Mobile African American History
Museum in an attempt to represent the full scale and range
of these experiences.
Learning tools such as books and the internet are wonderful
utensils to teach students, but a museum is a classical and
exceptional experience that should not be over looked for
modern conveniences. African American history is rich in
culture. The Nichols Mobile African American History Museum
captures the essence of artifacts, pictures, and narratives
of the lives of African Americans.
