Per The Gazette online story dated December 15, 2008 titled "African American museum to open next month, with events January 16 and 17, 2009.
Great news for the African American Museum of Iowa, which has been closed, due to the Flood of 2008.
Proceeds from the 2009 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration will be split with the African American Museum of Iowa this year. Our event will be Monday, January 19, 2009 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul's UMC in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
We hope you will find it in your way to help support the Museum.
The article indicated that the new permanent exhibit will hopefully be completed by December 2009. The original permanent exhibit was destroyed by the Flood of 2008.
