The Spady Museum is proud to offer the new Black History Study Palm Beach County Program, a 10-month curriculum and cultural immersion program for local middle school and high school students.

The program will start in September of 2024.

Offered at the Spady Museum in Delray Beach and at Trinity United Methodist Church in West Palm Beach, these monthly, two-hour sessions will include interactive lesson plans and cultural arts field trips centered around Black history and cultural heritage. Additionally, an artist will engage participants in a creative exploration of what they’ve learned through a customized artmaking project. 

“Designed to empower the next generation with a profound understanding of Black history’s pivotal role in driving social change, this program offers interactive lesson plans, enriching activities, and thought-provoking non-traditional educational lectures. Its primary goal is to equip our youth with the knowledge and tools to effect meaningful transformation in their communities.” BlackHistoryProject.org

The Spady Museum and the Palm Beach County African Diaspora Historical and Cultural Society believe that the “Culture of Health” is rooted in the knowledge of self.  As Americans, the history of our country and its multiple cultures is important to knowing who we are as a nation. We will provide students with the accurate history of Palm Beach County’s African Diaspora that is critical for American citizens to understand and acknowledge.
