Visit the National Museum of African American History & Culture website for in-depth, comprehensive learning, and, more locally, The Pōpolo Project, a “Hawai‘i-based nonprofit organization that redefines what it means to be Black in Hawai‘i and in the world through cultivating radical reconnection to ourselves, our community, our ancestors, and the land; changing what we commonly think of as Local and highlighting the vivid, complex diversity of Blackness.”
