African American Imprint.
Chattanooga is one of the few selected mid-sized cities to host this exhibit and it will be on display on the campus of the Chattanooga African American Museum for one day on Saturday, Nov. 8.
America I AM: The African American Imprint is a four-year touring exhibition chronicling and celebrating
photos, and music.
With twelve galleries encompassing 10,000 square feet, the exhibit includes artifacts such as the doors to the Cape Coast Castle, Alex Haley's typewriter used to write Roots, the door key and stool from the Birmingham jail cell that held Dr. Martin Luther King, and much more.
America I AM was developed in partnership with The Smiley Group, Inc., and it is organized by the Arts and Exhibitions International.
"We are honored to be chosen as the host of the America I AM exhibit," said Rose Martin, Chattanooga
African American Museum's executive director. "Chattanooga was selected to host this exhibit based upon its rich cultural history of Chattanooga and
reputation of the CAAM."
Area residents of all ages and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to tour the America I AM exhibit from
12-5 pm. Admission is free.
