The Kentucky Center for African American Heritage

We are ending Black History Month by showcasing The Kentucky Center for African American Heritage.

“The Kentucky Center for African American Heritage is the result of a collection of African American educators, artists, and historians who have collaborated to give the long-dormant history of African Americans in their region the voice and platform it deserves. This group evolved from the Louisville and Jefferson County African American Heritage Committee into its current mold, with a single unifying goal of promoting the Kentuckiana region’s black heritage.”

The Center holds events throughout the year and can be rented as facility space. Research shows the connection between cultural exposure and mental health, so it is important to keep places like this open and accessible to communities.

We hope that you will pay a visit and encourage others and find ways you and your network can support this organization and its work.
