American Civil War Museum goes above and beyond for Black History Month

The Appomattox American Civil War Museum (ACWM) is going above and beyond in its Black History Month programming during the months of February and March this year.

The ACWM’s Black History Month programming in Appomattox features the following: the “Legacies of Appomattox” exhibit, the “From Slavery to Freedom” programming, and the “History Explorer Day” programming.

Legacies of Appomattox illustrates to Appomattox residents the resilience and bravery that former Appomattox residents portrayed throughout history.

“This particular program was inspired by a previous collaboration with a Carver-Price alumnus and a tremendous opportunity to further highlight our ‘Legacies of Appomattox’ exhibit,” said Director of Marketing and Public Relations at ACWM Jeniffer Maloney.
