Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Hall of Fame
The purpose of the Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor African-American individuals from Cabarrus and Rowan County, North Carolina who excelled in their respective roles and who helped to bring honor, recognition, distinction, and excellence to their gift/talent. Recognition of individuals in the Hall of Fame will help maintain the spirit, pride, and sense of community as well as serve as a historical account of the African-American presence in Cabarrus and southern Rowan County, North Carolina.
History Collection Initiative
The Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center, Inc. is creating public programming that will engage young minds to dig deep to uncover small history untold about African-Americans in Cabarrus and Rowan County. The History Collection Initiative seeks to allow youth to learn from community memories and share their perspectives on what a historical story means to them. Viewpoints of youth will be captured to tell stories using historical sources, read historical works, and visit repositories to discover information about the African-American family in our area. The objective is to help youth and adults to learn more about each other as well as appreciating and respecting cultral differences.
Programs for Junior History Detectives, Historical Banners, and a Black History Series will be initiated and/or expanded for public awareness.
Civic Series
The Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center (KAA-MaCC), Inc. launched its first Civic Series in support of community outreach efforts to enhance and encourage public learning programs about African American history in Cabarrus and Rowan County, North Carolina. Also, the Civic Series will help to raise the public’s consciousness by sharing special exhibitions that celebrate contributions, achievements, and experiences of African Americans locally and afar.
Virtual Education Series
The Virtual Education Series (VES) is a platform for panel discussions and/or interviews relative to topics on a celebratory theme, “Restoring our History to Harvest our Legacy.” Topics pertaining to "Reflections on Education, Race, and Progress" are presented for the panelist to share their experiences.
