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.

The Language of the Unheard!
We look forward to continuing this series of conversations with African American men whose voices are unheard and are begging to breathe.
From corporate America to local boards and activists, black men’s voices are going unheard. The Woodson is creating a platform to amplify the voices as we turn up the volume.
Registration is required.
