NEW EXHIBIT honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. AND Nelson Mandela is NOW OPEN at the African American Museum of Dallas.

Designed as a learning-centered experience, Icons of Liberation: King and Mandela invites children, families, educators and community groups to actively explore ideas of citizenship, leadership and standing for justice. Rather than a traditional walk-through, do-not-touch exhibit, the gallery features interactive activity stations that encourage visitors to pause, reflect, read, write and engage with the material in meaningful ways.

The exhibit also serves as a thematic introduction to the Museum’s upcoming presentation, Nelson Mandela: The Official Exhibition, opening June 13-Nov. 1, 2026.

THIS YEAR: Pay attention to what is going on at the African American Museum of Dallas. The new exhibits are incredible! So proud of the new leadership and where everything is headed.
