Thanks to Tyler Trane Employee Union for collecting shoes for the Texas African American Museum Shoe Drive.

ABOUT THE SHOE DRIVE
Shoes are sold by these small business owners in communities in need of proper footwear, at an inexpensive price. Additionally, micro-entrepreneurs create a path out of poverty for themselves in countries where there are limited, if any, job opportunities that pay a living wage.

To assist with its continued growth of exhibits, the Texas African American Museum in Tyler received two protective glass cases from a Dallas-based museum design firm with East Texas connections. On Wednesday, Darryl Bihm, vice president of sales and marketing for Museum Arts in Dallas, brought the donated cases after recently seeing an article about the Texas African American Museum in Tyler.

Please support our latest fundraiser. With your support you will also be supporting micro-enterprise vendors in developing nations.

We want to thank all of you have supported us financially. Each day God is faithful. After getting the gas turned on, we discovered that the furnace wasn't working and would need replacing. We thought we could hold out until the spring however, we were wrong. It get a little chilly in here.

Because of your generous donation we were able to get a new furnace put in on this last Friday.

Take the TAAM Fundraiser Challenge!!!!

This the floor plan designed by Braham Architect. The renovation of the facility will cost approximately $300,000. Invite family and friends to participate in this worthy cause.

WITH YOUR GIFT OF $100 OR MORE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORICAL NEWS JOURNAL AND A TEXAS AFRICAN-AMERICAN T-SHIRT. IN EFFECT SINCE JANUARY 1, 2021.

The African-American Historical News Journal is a compilation of newspaper articles and firsthand accounts of our nation's history. What makes the content of ‘The Journal’ so important is that the information is not widely known, largely because it is not widely taught in our schools. Whether in the African-American community or the community at large, the information regarding the important impact of African-Americans to the founding of our country is a story all should know. If we don’t know the whole story, then we don’t know the real story of the founding of our country. If you don’t know the real story, then you don’t know the whole story. It is imperative that all of us, as Americans, know the entire story of the founding of our country.

Join us in our Fundraiser Challenge!
