Welcome!

The Black Heritage Museum & Cultural Center, Inc. welcomes you to our site!

The founders, Board, staff, and other volunteers welcome you to a site dedicated to developing and promoting a thriving arts and education scene.

If you are an established artist or just starting out, keep us in mind as a place to house your exhibits in the future. Until our gallery opening, virtual images will be shown on our website!

Students, parents, or education professionals please contact Fay Smith our Education Division Director - there is quite a bit to share.

One of our Education Division programs, the College Round-Up, celebrated its 10th year! Our upcoming College Round-Up is scheduled for March 10, 2012 and will be held on the Tarboro Campus of Edgecombe Community College. 

Each year the event is held in the historic town of Tarboro, North Carolina. Our 2011 College Round-Up hosted students and their families from a number of states.  Our special guest speaker was actress, author, comedienne, and activist Kim Coles.

We continue to thank the Furman Mathewson Foundation of Edgecombe County Memorial Library for their generous grant which helped make the 2011 event possible. 

If you're a lover of the arts, even if you're not an artist yourself, this is the place for you too!  You can view upcoming events and lectures, emerging artists' works, find gallery openings and ways to get involved. 

Come back often, there's always something new at the Black Heritage Museum & Cultural Center's website!

Robert 'Bobby' Whitehead,

College Round-Up Founder
