The Center comprises just under 50,000 sq. ft. of space, including administrative offices in the Carnegie library. The mission of the Center is to educate the public about African American history and culture from the African origins to the present by collecting, preserving, and interpreting material evidence of the Black experience. The museum's permanent exhibition is titled, From Victory To Freedom: Afro-American Life in the Fifties. Examples of this typical fifties lifestyle include a barber shop, a beauty salon, and a church interior complete with pews, pulpit, and choir stand. Interspersed between these settings are display cases containing clothes, jewelry, consumer products, sports equipment, and other artifacts from the fifties. Located in the very center of the exhibition is a small theater which shows the award winning Music As a Metaphor, a 27-minute video presentation.
