Miami Children’s Museum is celebrating Black History Month throughout February with its online “Museum at Home” program, thanks to the financial support of PNC Bank.
The museum has programmed a variety of at-home activities for children of all ages that showcase the achievements of Black Americans and the central role they play in U.S. history.
During the month-long celebration, the museum will focus on a plethora of remarkable individuals who left an indelible footprint on American society. For instance, virtual guests can create art inspired from the Harlem Renaissance, try space science inspired by aerospace engineer Aprille Ericsson-Jackson, get hands-on with a sensory activity inspired by George Washington Carver, check out videos featuring Black authors, participate in a cooking demonstration from the People’s Barbecue, or experience breath-taking musical performances from local celebrities in the community, and more.
“PNC is committed to contributing to the economic empowerment of Black Americans in the communities where we live and work,” said Cressman Bronson, PNC regional president of Southeast Florida. “Through our support of the Miami Children’s ‘Museum at Home’ project during Black History Month, we have the opportunity to help inspire and encourage the next generation of leaders, inventors, scientists, activists and South Florida at large.”
It’s all happening online at Miami Children’s Museum. Although its galleries are temporarily closed due to the pandemic, Miami Children’s Museum’s exciting “Museum at Home” online program continues to bring all the experiences of the museum to the safety and comfort of one’s own home.
