Black History Mobile Museum In The Dalles Tuesday

A mobile museum with a collection of over seven-thousand artifacts related to Black history and culture will be at The Dalles Wasco County Public Library on Tuesday.  The Black History 101 Mobile Museum was started by Khalid el-Hakim as a classroom aid, and evolved into what now tours the country.  The museum showcases historical and contemporary artifacts to illustrate the history and progression of Black culture, with pieces ranging from those connected to slavery, Jim Crow, and civil rights to the emergence and flourishing of Black culture in movements from the Harlem Renaissance to modern-day hip-hop.  The mobile museum will be at The Dalles Library from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m., with el-Hakim giving a talk from noon to 1 p.m.  Admission is free.
