Picture a child walking into the museum for the first time. They stop in front of a painting, wide-eyed, because they see a face on the wall that looks like theirs, telling a story that feels like them. That moment — recognition, joy, and belonging — is what membership helps to make possible.

Even if you’ve never visited, becoming a member of the Northeast Louisiana Delta African-American Heritage Museum is one of the most meaningful ways to support the preservation of Black history in northeast Louisiana. In a time of shrinking federal support, membership helps sustain our mission, build community, and shape the future of the stories we’re here to tell.
