The African American Museum of Iowa, based in Cedar Rapids, is the state's only museum devoted exclusively to preserving Iowa’s African American history. It serves as a forum for discussions on community, race, and social justice for individuals seeking knowledge and shared interests. As a statewide organization, it aims to foster greater understanding and appreciation of Iowa’s Black history and culture through conversation, engagement, and reflection. It works to reach communities across Iowa by emphasizing education and preservation to illuminate the state’s Black history and its relevance to the present and future. The museum presents exhibitions and public programs, and in May 2026 named Anne Harris Carter as Executive Director, reflecting ongoing leadership development.
