At the end of 2019, the African American Museum of Iowa launched a social media campaign, #NotJustFebruary, in an effort to advocate for year-round learning about Black history.
The campaign and museum share a goal to teach history as it really happened. The museum strives to share the authentic stories of African American struggle and achievement through relevant exhibits, programs, presentations, events and other educational resources.
