Friends of Bruce R. Watkins Board of Directors

The Mission of the Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Heritage Center & State Museum is to honor the African American experience in Kansas City, Missouri and surrounding areas.

We use educational exhibits and programs that delve into the past, present, and contemporary contributions of African Americans who served to shape our city and state's history and culture.

The stories we tell, the exhibits we curate, and the experiences we offer, all converge to empower, educate, and enrich the lives of all who engage with our Center.
