The Rev. Dr. Tamara E. Wilson, Chair writes,
The state’s official museum on African American history and culture, the Banneker-Douglass Museum, received a $1.6 million appropriation that increases the museum’s capacity to preserve and present Maryland’s authentic African American history, art, and culture through educational programs, exhibitions, research, and collections management. Additionally, the increase of the African American Heritage Preservation Grant from $1 million to $5 million will support more African American heritage projects around the state for years to come.
