Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture

Let me introduce myself: I am Joni Jones, executive director of the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture (MCAAHC). MCAAHC’s mission is to preserve, promote and interpret Maryland’s African American Heritage. We are administered by the Governor’s Office of Community Initiatives. For more information on us, check out our website: http://www.africanamerican.maryland.gov/

The MCAAHC also operates the Banneker-Douglass Museum (BDM)—the State’s official repository of African American history and culture. The BDM offers compelling exhibits and programs, and it collects art objects, memorabilia, manuscripts, photographs, and other articles of significance to MD’s African American history and culture. We hope this blog provides you with timely information about our exhibits, programs, and services. After you’ve checked us out online, we hope you’ll attend a MCAAHC-sponsored event and visit the BDM.
