5 reviews for African American Museum and Library
Full disclosure: I haven't yet visited this library/ museum since it became the African American Museum. About 10 years ago, my (former) employer and I photographed the building in black and white film for the Library of Congress, as per federal law for historic buildings. It used to be the Greene Library. It's very lovely, with gold details and the names of famous authors circling the second floor interior. It's a valuable cultural building. Check it out...I'm going to (soon).
so glad they are preserving the life and times of african americans in Oakland and the bay area. Wonderful black history month events. Their annual doll show is not to be missed.really love their new digs!
Gorgeous building, they've always got great historic/art shows and wonderful programs going on.
-2 stars because you can't check out any of the books.
This lovingly restored 1902 Carnegie building includes a museum and art gallery devoted to the African-Americans who made an impact on the Bay Area and Northern California.
Visit this wonderful interesting museum, and find out more about the incredibly brave people who struggled for freedom. Inspiring, and gives some insight into a different point of view of history. I felt righteous as I smiled and nodded to the lady on the way out the door.
