A Journey Through the African Diaspora Project

The Prince George’s African American Museum & Cultural Center (PGAAMCC) was recently awarded the 2013-2014 Museums Connect grant for the project A Journey through the African Diaspora. PGAAMCC's high school after school program, Culture Keepers, partnered with an after-school program Onarin Koja, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Both teen groups will research the African Diaspora and engage in Cultural Exchange in the Spring of 2014. Museums Connect is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is administered by the American Alliance of Museums.
