Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum

The Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum will build organizational capacity to support an expanded resource and media center by providing professional development training for museum staff, artists, facilitators, and volunteers. Professional development programs will focus on areas of digital technology, collections stewardship, and evaluation. Project activities will also include expanding public programs, exhibitions, and school programs in partnership with the Sacramento Office of Arts and Culture. The project team will recruit an archives fellow to receive training for best practices in archives stewardship in collaboration with the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. The project will result in a more agile museum workforce and volunteer corps that has the training to efficiently serve the needs of the surrounding community.
