Reflecting on Black History at AAMP: A Journey Through Audacious Freedom & Shared Vision

To close out Black History Month, we took the Great Day Express to the African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) for an unforgettable experience exploring two powerful exhibitions.

Audacious Freedom offers a deep dive into the lives and contributions of African Americans in Philadelphia from 1776-1876. Through interactive timelines and storytelling, we learned about trailblazers like Octavius Catto and Richard Allen, whose legacies continue to shape history.

Shared Vision presents a breathtaking collection of 40 portraits from CCH Pounder’s personal collection. This exhibition celebrates Black identity, beauty, and power through contemporary art, providing a striking visual narrative of resilience and creativity.

This visit was a meaningful way to reflect, learn, and celebrate Black history and culture. Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey. Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the day.
