The Black Voices Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is dedicated to honoring and preserving the rich history and culture of our Black community, from the first Africans who arrived in North Carolina, through the Civil Rights Movement, to today, and beyond. We strive to foster understanding, promote equity, and facilitate healing by engaging our community in dialogue about the past, present, and future – setting a model for a community’s reconciliation with race. Our vision is to create a dynamic center for history, education, storytelling, and social justice, inspired by voices of our ancestors and all generations. Together, we will build a legacy that uplifts every voice and paves the way for a more just and equitable tomorrow.
"There are many things in the world to inspire us, but few things more so than the knowledge of self and one's potential." –Charles W. Chesnutt
