African American Museum & Research Library (AAMRL)

Join us in supporting an historic initiative to preserve, celebrate, and showcase the rich heritage and contributions of African Americans in our region at the once-vibrant center of Black life: Coleman Park’s own historic Roosevelt High School.

Located on Tamarind Avenue, the AAMRL will become a vital resource for education, cultural enrichment, and research for our community. The project is a collaborative effort among Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County School District, and the Community Foundation.
