Trailblazers: Notable African Americans in Pennsylvania History
Outside of the Auditorium. A trail blazer is a pioneer, a person who opens up a new trail or new territory. This photo exhibit features African Americans closely associated with Pennsylvania who went into jobs, activities and businesses where no African American had gone before. It focuses on the stories of real-life people from Pennsylvania and tells viewers about the many accomplishments and contributions of these outstanding citizens.
After the exhibit opens at The State Museum, a 20-panel version of the exhibit will be available for loan to historical societies, museums, libraries and schools across the Commonwealth.
