The mission of the Center for African American History, Art and Culture is to preserve the Immanuel Institute building to create interactive programs of sight and sound that educate, that inspire, and that demonstrate the many contributions of African Americans to Aiken County.
The Center will offer. . .
An educational resource focused on a largely unknown local history and culture
A major opportunity for tourism as a stop on the Heritage Corridor
A vehicle to showcase and enhance the African American population’s involvement in the arts
A forum for celebrating both Aiken’s diversity and its sense of community
A focal point for future generations to grow together in a shared past and a united future
