Lamar County residents now donât have to travel hundreds of miles to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington to get an immersive experience for Black History Month. For the month of February, a poster collection from the Smithsonian titled âA Place for All People,â which explores displays from the museum, is on display at the Valley of the Caddo Museum & Cultural Center in Paris for all to see.
The museum, which opened in 2016, explores the Black experience in America all the way from the 1600s when Africans were stolen from their native lands and forced into slavery, to the present day. Each poster contains photos of artifacts on display at the museum along with quotes from prominent Black historical and contemporary figures, intended to provoke a dialogue about Black history amongst patrons.
