Mr. Mitchell's World History class visited the newly renovated Afr-Ame Museum of IA. Ms. Hunter did a tremendous job explaining the complex history of African-Americans going all the way back to Africa centuries ago.

We are now hosting the temporary exhibit "Mapping Exclusion: Redlining in Iowa", on loan from Afr-Ame Museum of IA. This powerful exhibit dives into housing discrimination and segregation across the state, highlighting how redlining systematically denied services to Black populations.
