Celebrating 30 years

By March 12, 1994 Kathe Hambrick was already in-too-deep. There was no turning back as she had already taken heed and answered a calling. On this date she would officially have committed to collecting, archiving and preserving rural Louisiana life and narrating for the most unspoken voices of its people the, descendants of formerly enslaved Africans and  African American community.  The creation of the River Road African American Museum was a vision only to be dreamed, yet there it stood at Tezcuco plantation and here it continues to stand some 30 years later at the Brazier House, 406 Charles St. in Donaldsonville, LA. With 5 structures depicting and demonstrating the resilience and perseverance of the African Diaspora, River Road African American Museum has withstood fire, storm, and even crimes of hate. Still we stand, celebrating! We would like to thank everyone who has been there in support of our efforts in one way or another and we look forward to what the future holds. Join us in celebrating our past today as we pave paths for our future!
