A museum should take you on a trip through History and time. Black People often talk about and create spaces just for Black People with a utopian idea but never just call it what it is, a Black Utopia. This Museum at the Anacostia Art Center is created to be the best of those two ideas. A Black Utopian space that tells the history and showcases the Power, Beauty, and Magic of Black People. My hope is that everyone who visits The Museum leaves with an increased level of Black Confidence. The Art on display was created to affect not only the observer's conscious thoughts but also their subconscious. The intention is to create a full mind, body and soul experience - new ideas to lead you into the Afro Future!—
