These remarkable women represent a living bridge between painful chapters of American history and the freedoms many enjoy today. They once lived under laws and customs that sought to limit where they could sit, eat, drink, learn, and even whether they could exercise the right to vote. They experienced an era of segregation that placed barriers on basic human dignity. Yet here they stand at The APEX Museum in 2026—not as victims of history, but as witnesses, survivors, and pillars of perseverance. We honor their strength, resilience, and sacrifices, recognizing that many opportunities often taken for granted today exist because they and many others, endured, resisted, and continued moving forward. Their lives remind us that history is not distant—it is living, breathing, and standing before us. “Lest we forget” We must remember so we won’t let it happen again!

Students came to visit the APEX and were thrilled to know we were aware of their home lands. Eritrea and Ethiopia are generally at odds politically and militarily, even though they officially ended their long war several years ago.

Here’s the background in simple terms:

Eritrea was once part of Ethiopia.
The two countries fought! We are optimistic that the next generations will make a change and unite. The young lady on the right is from Eritrea and the young lady on the left is from Ethiopia. They are a symbol of hope.

What a week at The APEX Museum!

Our guests came seeking historical facts, but experienced history from a human perspective. The journey began by connecting us through our shared humanity before reaching back to ancient Alkebulan and its many great kingdoms. From there, we traveled through the realities of the Maafa, the struggles and resilience of our ancestors, and the enduring meaning of Juneteenth freedom.

The experience culminated with a look toward innovation and possibility—highlighting science, space exploration, and the countless inventions and groundbreaking contributions that originated from African American minds.

At The APEX Museum, history is not simply about the past—it is about understanding who we are, where we come from, and how those stories continue to shape our future.

📸: From the archives of The APEX Museum//This iconic photograph captures a powerful moment in history and legacy as Dan Moore, Sr., Founder of The APEX Museum, stands alongside renowned civil rights activist C.T. Vivian. More than a picture, it symbolizes the meeting of two visionaries dedicated to preserving truth, advancing justice, and uplifting African American history and culture. Their shared commitment to education, empowerment, and community reminds us that the struggle for progress is carried forward not only through protest and policy, but through institutions, storytelling, and the preservation of our collective memory.

The APEX Museum is proud to present Serving in the Shadows: Black Soldiers in Segregated America, a new exhibition honoring the courage and sacrifice of Black servicemen and women throughout U.S. history.
Opening May 16, 2026, and on view through August 1, 2026. This powerful installation arrives just in time for Memorial Day, inviting our guests to reflect on the heroes who fought for a country that did not yet fight for them.
 
Through photographs, stories, and historical materials, Serving in the Shadows illuminates the resilience, dignity, and patriotism of Black soldiers who served despite segregation and discrimination. We welcome our community to experience this important chapter of American history and join us in remembrance and gratitude this Memorial Day season. Sponsored by: our many visitors who attended the museum this year.
