African American Cultural Complex
Use your resources and gifts to positively impact your community and the world. Do not wait for someone else to do it.
Dr. E.B. and Juanita Palmer created the African American Cultural Complex, an experiential museum on their property in Raleigh, North Carolina. I took a quick self guided tour on Saturday and promised Mrs. Palmer I would be back for a formal tour. Just a few steps from my car, I was transported to North Carolina's past.
The African American Cultural Complex hosts events throughout the spring and summer, such as the Heritage Trail Festival and the Amistad Saga Outdoor Drama.
A must on everyone's calendar for next year.
