Obama Hawaiian Africana Museum

Obama Hawaiian Africana Museum A honoring the birthplace of the 44th U.S. President and 200+ years of history in | Est. 1997 President.

Mission Statement:
To preserve, perpetuate & promote the contributions of Africana early settlers and descendants, and contemporary African Americans in Hawaii. Vision Statement:
To honor the historical event of the birthplace of the 44th U.S. President and to share a larger narrative about Africana Hawaiian early settlers' and descendents' contributions to island history through educational in-

school and cultural programs for youth, residents and visitors. Established:
October 1997, Honolulu, Hawaii. Internal Revenue Certificate 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In February 2018, the Board of Directors voted to take on the tradename “Obama Hawaiian Africana Museum,” to honor the birthplace of the 44th U.S. The parent entity is, “African American Diversity Cultural Center Hawaii (AADCCH)". Museum Legacy & Initiatives:
Until 1997, no institution had acknowledged the history of Africana people’s contributions to Hawaii history, including in the World War II Pacific Theater. Presently, there is not a historical marker (site) in Hawaii marking the birthplace of the 44th U.S. President, the first Black president and Commander-in-Chief of the United States. One of the key goals of the Obama Hawaiian Africana Museum's Board of Directors is to purchase the childhood home of Obama to honor the historical figure, the 44th President, and to create a permanent museum location highlighting 200 years of Africana people’s historical contributions to the state of Hawaii and the world.

New Name “Obama Hawaiian Africana Museum” dba parent name Diversity Cultural Center Hawai'i (AADCCH) was founded in 1997 as a museum repository to archive 200 years of African descent history in Hawaii. The purpose is to share and tell the story of the settlers past and present history in the Hawaiian Islands including the birthplace of the 44th U.S. President, Barack Obama’s legacy and early childhood years.

The Obama Museum’s target audience to educate youth, the future generation to empower their lives and increase appreciation about their cultural identity. Our archival collection is an important component for broadening this knowledge onsite, social studies classrooms, the community and visitor. In addition, we are making preparation to launch a Capital Campaign to acquire a facility to enable the Obama Museum to engage in broadening the intercultural conversation about Hawaii’s ethnic diverse communities to promote cohesiveness and harmony. The facility will stand as a symbol to honor the birthplace of the 44th U.S. President.
