Join us for a transformational day trip to Washington, D.C. as we explore the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) – the only national museum dedicated exclusively to documenting African American life, history, and culture. This experience offers students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the past, reflect on the present, and envision a more just and inclusive future.
This is a single-day free trip that includes travel to Washington, D.C., museum entry, and opportunities for students to explore exhibitions at their own pace. Participants should be prepared for a day of exploration, learning, and meaningful reflection.
Why this trip matters:
Visiting the NMAAHC is more than a museum tour – it’s an immersive journey that encourages us to reflect on identity, equity, and how history shapes our lives today. This trip supports:
- Cultural understanding and awareness
