More Information about the Tubman Museum of Art, History and Culture:

The Tubman Museum is the largest museum in the nation dedicated to educating people about the Art, History and Culture of African Americans.

The mission of the Tubman African American Museum is to explore, celebrate and share the rich art and history of African Americans, to be a center of social and civic engagement, and a source of experiences that enrich cultural understanding and inspire positive change.

The school visits include handcrafted educational outreach workshops that cater to the needs of your institution ranging from art to diversity and character building. Students can be guaranteed a fun filled field trip at the Tubman! The field trip will include trip around the museum with a knowledgeable tour guide and a video. Be sure to make use of our added-value services which include an art or craft workshop.

The Tubman African American Museum seeks to align with community organizations, businesses, and institutions of learning through our education programs and services. The mission of the Tubman Museum is to educate people about African American art, history and culture and to promote harmony among all races. In order to fulfill that mission we realize that we must not be bound by the walls of our building. But rather, we must place a focus on outreach into our community and bring the museum resources to them.

We are addressing the most serious issues within our educational system facing both Georgia and the nation. Uniquely positioned as both accessible and acceptable, the museum serves as a safe and non-threatening method of delivering needed information and instruction on a myriad of topics to a critical segment of our population. Some of the tactics involve:

  • Heritage Summer Camp
  • John Oliver Killens Workshop
  • Outreach Teachers
  • After School Instruction

Macon, GA, January 20, 2022

MGB INC. (Men Giving Back), a community-based initiative, in Macon, GA reached out to NFL All Pro, DeSean Jackson, of the Las Vegas Raiders, to support the Kings Park Community Center after school program, that was in dire need of brand new, culturally-diverse and gender-specific books for academic and cultural enrichment. The Kings Park Community Center coordinators said that Mr. Jackson’s donation will meet a critical gap in the academic inequity of disadvantaged youth in the marginalized community that the Kings Park Community Center serves through the after school program, proposed summer academic programs; and, preparing the program participants for college and life.

DeSean Jackson, Las Vegas Raiders, Wide Receiver and DeSean Jackson Foundation, CEO/Founder

The DeSean Jackson Foundation (“DJF”) was founded by DeSean Jackson and his mother, Gayle Jackson, in memory of his father, Bill, who died from Pancreatic Cancer in 2009 during DeSean’s rookie season with the Philadelphia Eagles, for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness and advocacy for inequity in access to quality healthcare and education in the predominantly Black and other marginalized communities. During Jackson’s 14-year career in the NFL, the Jacksons have been successful in expanding the reach of DJF in all of the NFL franchise markets where DeSean has played (Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Football Team, Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders) and his home town of Los Angeles. In addition, DeSean embraces opportunities to collaborate with present and former NFL players who desire to Inspire Change in their communities.

Our Vision: One Team, One Purpose

“Building a path out of poverty through educational equity”, states DeSean Jackson, “is a pillar of our non-profit focus on Education Equity for Kids in Need. Our purpose is as bold as my career moves on the field as it is urgent: To create systematic change, To ensure equal access to quality education and To empower all the children in need who we are privileged to serve.” It is imperative that we foster an ongoing love of reading-because reading is foundational and fundamental to everything we do; and, it is unconscionable that millions of children are growing up in book deserts without access to books and the opportunity to open up a world of possibilities, enabling more children to explore places far beyond their neighborhoods.

We have lots of help developing the new Kings Park Community Center Resource Center
