African American History through Artifacts with the Ruby & Calvin Fletcher Museum

IN-PERSON PROGRAM

Join Jeffrey Fletcher of The Ruby & Calvin Fletcher African American History Museum on a journey through African American history, from Africa to today. The presentation will include a video tour of the museum and real artifacts from the museum collection.

The Ruby & Calvin Fletcher African American History Museum is a collection of artifacts which reflect decades of turbulent times for African Americans in the United States during the period of slavery and the Civil Rights movement. It brings visitors up close and personal which is an experience that many have only read about in history books or seen in movies.
