The Texas African American Museum in Tyler, Texas, received a $1 million donation commitment on Feb. 19 from Dr. Khalilah Camacho-Ali, the former wife of Boxer Muhammad Ali.
TYLER, Texas —
“Right now we have a strategic five-year plan. We’re going to expand and enhance on that, our five-year strategic plan along with the donation that she gifted to the museum,” said Gloria Washington, executive director and curator for the Texas African American Museum. “This facility [which was] Fire Station No. 4,” she said. “The City donated or gifted us this building.”
“We want individuals to come in and view our history and learn about our history and continue to educate about our history,” she said. “I think recently they’re trying to take Black history or history out of the schools,” she said. “So, we’re going to pick up the slack and we’re going to teach about that history here in the Texas African American Museum.”
