Tangipahoa African American Heritage Museum
The Tangipahoa African American Heritage Museum & Black Veteran Archives is a museum on Phoenix Square in Hammond, Louisiana.[1][2]
There are three main buildings. The north building has a dinner theater and storage. The middle building contains the main displays of African American heritage. The south building offers a spacious banquet hall together with multipurpose conference facilities. The Museum is one of 26 sites on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail as cited by USA Today.[3]
The Museum originated in the 1980s and has incrementally expanded in both displays and community services. A special arena of concentration in the Museum is its collection of data and exhibits on African American veterans of military service.[4] The Museum has a "cooperative endeavor agreement" with Southeastern Louisiana University.[5]
