Your dollars make a difference!
Research shows that museums dedicated to African American history and social justice receive less funding from major donors than other institutions. As a result, we rely on the grassroots support of visitors such as you.
Your support enables us to:
- Continue to unearth and share stories of the Underground Railroad in Niagara Falls
- Educate visitors from around the world about ongoing struggles for freedom and inspire them to take action to create an equitable society
- Preserve this important history for the future
