Amistad Research Center

You know those lists of "20 Places you must eat in XXX state"! "Sights you must see in XXX state!" Well, when I saw the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail, opened it and saw so many places all over the state that are historical, or current, dedicated to memorializing Unheard or Underheard Voices. This was on the list. It is on the Tulane University campus, so access during the school term and during the week can be tricky. They are a research center dedicated to chronicling the history of minority groups in the United States. They have many programs for outreach to the community, and education for all levels.Only one issue. Because of the pandemic, none of their usual exhibits are currently on display. The lady working when I stopped by was very friendly, taking time to show me what they did have out, explained their mission, and informed me that they hope to open exhibits by appointment in the fall. So why am I writing this review? Because this seems like a great place to support and promote! On the paraphernalia she gave me, it outlines all of the uses of funds and the programs they have. I will definitely update this review after I go back with the impressive exhibits I did see.
