Topics to be included in the timeline are: Seeds of Abolitionism laid in Pennsylvania – Quakers 1775, Famous Black Abolitionists, The Fugitive Slave Act, African American Soldiers in the Civil War, President Lincoln and The Emancipation Proclamation, the Meaning of Juneteenth and ending with President Biden declaring Juneteenth a national holiday in 2021.
Scholarship
Millard Mitchell Scholarship
The AAMBC seeks to recognize student achievements by celebrating and awarding high school seniors who are dedicated to serving their school and their community. In 2019, the Museum established the Millard Mitchell Scholarship as a way to support deserving graduating high school students who intend to further their education. The annual Millard Mitchell Scholarship is a one-time award of at least $500 dollars presented to at least three students who have been accepted by an accredited post-secondary institution.
