The Colored Girls Museum is a public space for knowledge sharing which amplifies the stories, experiences, and history of Colored Girls and the issues which impact our lives. 

The One Room School House is a composite of Virtual and Live Experiences that serves as a refuge and a resource in the midst of a pandemic.

This museum initiates the “ordinary” object—submitted by the colored girl herself, as representative of an aspect of her story and personal history, which she finds meaningful; her object embodies her experience and expression of being a Colored Girl.

There are many museums about many things –we should have a Colored Girls Museum. 

Colored Girls have a unique and complex history—–it is a history informed by great tragedy and great triumph---a history which intersects and overlaps with other histories but remains distinct as colored women/girls navigate our dual circumstances as “colored and female “ we must begin the documenting process somewhere –why not now—why not here---our stories are as varied as our skin tones.
