Now Is The Time: An Update to Our Supporters from Dr. Jacqueline F. Brown
Executive Director, PGAAMCC
My Friends, thank you again for your unwavering support of the Prince George’s African American Museum & Cultural Center at North Brentwood (PGAAMCC). We promised you an update on our progress in securing funding to build out the Museum after 18 years of being on the Planning books for Prince George’s County.
Initially, we were placed in the Park and Planning CIP Budget under a County Bill in FY12 that allocated $5 Million dollars of funding for the construction of the Museum Building. Due to your efforts, we are now moved to the FY15 County Construction in Progress (CIP) Park and Planning budget .
We are happy to report that the sale of our properties was executed in June of this year. As a result, we will be able to keep our doors open. However, we retained sufficient property to build out a 10,000 SF addition to our existing Museum and make this 18 year dream still come true.
Continue to support the Museum and participate in our Public and Educational Events and Programs. Continue to Donate, Sponsor and become a Member or a Partner organization. Know that whenever you come to the Museum or our events, you will always be “Welcomed Home”!
Again, thank you so much for all you do for the continued success of the PGAAMCC.
Dr. Jacqueline F. Brown,
Executive Director, PGAAMCC
