As a public health precaution due to COVID-19 (coronavirus), The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum will remain temporarily closed.
*All scheduled programming will take place virtually.
The museum presents the historic voice of this St. Petersburg, Florida community from the perspective of local, regional, and national history, culture, and community. It is another demonstration of the commitment to revitalize the Midtown St. Petersburg area.
The museum joins Mercy Hospital at the Johnnie Ruth Clarke Health Center, the Royal Theater Boys and Girls Club, and the renovated Manhattan Casino as evidence of the renaissance of this area.

What
The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum will continue a series of forums for women who seek to become allies in the struggle for improved race relations and reconciliation.
The sessions will be created to disarm and hopefully eliminate attitudes of prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance.
Each program will focus on ways in which privilege, station, and or the position has systemically created a disadvantage for people of color.
Individuals will evaluate their feelings, views, and behaviors regarding race.
Registration is required.

To Be Heard Loud and Clear in 2020 and Beyond
Now, more than ever we must focus on the power of the VOTE. This pivotal time in history can shift our local, state, and national government in a manner that can redefine the nation, our state, and our city.
The Woodson has developed a platform for voters regarding matters on the ballot that primarily affect people of color. Plan to join us.
*The link will be posted.
