They will learn as they grow older to love and care for their own children and not neglect them." The National Black Doll Museum of History & Culture has one of the largest collections -- if not the largest -- of dolls of color and related items in the United States. The physical museum, which was forced to close in 2020 due to COVID, was the first of its kind in New England, the second in the cou

ntry, and possibly the largest in the world. As we look to reopen in a new location, we are online with more information than ever at www.nbdmhc.org. Whether as a building and/or virtually, we are dedicated to several objectives:

To preserve doll history and culture by presenting the art of dollmaking and collecting through workshops and lectures. To stimulate an interest in African American history by revealing the little-known, often-neglected facts of history with visual stimulation. To provide a resource library of information for doll research and the documentation of printed material, photographs, and audio recording
To support and work in conjunction with other nonprofit, charitable organizations in an exchange of exhibits and educational workshop. The Black Doll Museum is the brainchild of sisters Debra Britt and Felicia Walker. Daze Project and Museum Inc.", in 2006.

Good Afternoon Facebook Family
As I continue to heal, reflect and regain strength, I am reminded that history is not just what we read about it's something we carry within us.
Every struggle survived, every barrier broken, every lesson learned becomes a light for the next generation.
Today, I am reminded that education is the key, knowledge is power and sharing the truth is an act of love and community. When we pass stories forward we preserve courage, culture, wisdom and legacy.
Our ancestors endured so we could learn.
We learn so others may grow and together we move from the past through the present into a stronger future.
Let us continue to teach, to listen, to care enough to share the truth
Because history forgotten can be repeated.....
but history remembered becomes POWER.

Good Afternoon Facebook Friends & Family,

In every movement, leadership rises when something meaningful needs to be done. Right now, our poets have stepped forward, using their voices not only to inspire, but to help uplift and encourage healing during this season of recovery.

I am truly covered by their words, prayers, and blessings. Poetry has always carried power — the power to comfort, restore, motivate, and heal.

So on the 23rd step out and experience the healing energy that comes through the Art of Poetry. Let the words move your spirit, renew your strength, and remind us all that creativity and community are powerful medicine.

Good Afternoon Facebook Family – Day 5: Movement & Healing ✨

Today, movement looks a little different.

Not every step is a march.
Not every movement is loud.
Some days… movement is healing. 💚

As I continue recovering from surgery, I’m reminded that slowing down is not stopping—it’s restoring strength for what’s next. The journey isn’t always pretty, but it’s purposeful.

Today we reflect on the power of self-determination through Malcolm X

🔥 “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”

That stand doesn’t always look like protest.
Sometimes it looks like choosing yourself.
Choosing to heal.
Choosing to rise—again.

🌿 Today’s Movement Message:
Healing is movement.
Rest is resistance.
Recovery is part of the revolution.

So today, I honor where I am—not just where I’m going.
And I’m still moving… just with intention.

We got this. đź’›
