Our Mammy’s African American History for Schools
Our Mammy's was established to offer a meaningful history and genealogy experience for both adults and children, with a focus on the historical and cultural contributions of Louisiana’s African American men, women, and children from the 19th and 20th centuries.
While our programs integrate arts, crafts, English, math, and science, our primary emphasis is on history and genealogy. Staffed by a National Association of Interpreters Interpretive Guide with degrees in History and Museum Studies and over 15 years of experience in the museum industry, we ensure a rich and comprehensive educational experience. Guided by our motto, "Encounter. Construct. Learn," we plan all activities for students of all ages.

Aligned with Educational Standards
Our programs African American history are carefully crafted to meet educational standards, making them an excellent addition to your curriculum or community offerings. We ensure that each session is both informative and aligned with the educational goals of schools. Using our history and genealogy, we create meaningful history experiences.
Our Mammy's is a reliable and authentic resource! My youth group was extremely engaged with her presentation, and it sparked their interest to learn more about their own family trees. 10/10 Highly recommend!
