About Us

Behind every exhibition, program, and event at the African American Museum, Dallas is a passionate team of curators, educators, historians, and creative professionals dedicated to preserving and sharing the richness of African American culture.
Together, Team AAMD brings vision, scholarship, and heart to everything we do — from curating groundbreaking exhibitions and hosting educational programs to welcoming guests and engaging our community.

We are storytellers, caretakers, and collaborators united by a shared purpose: to honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future.
