This signature annual benefit brings our community together to celebrate leadership, culture, and the collective impact of supporting NAAM’s mission. This year, we are proud to honor visionary museum leader Sandra Jackson-Dumont and artist, designer, activist, author, philanthropist, and Super Bowl champion Michael Bennett as our 2026 Champions of Unity.

The Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) is housed in the historic Colman School building (built in 1909) which overlooks a beautiful, sprawling green park, named after rock legend, Jimi Hendrix, in the heart of Seattle’s Central District. See ongoing virtual series: Historians on Hope. Each week, NAAM features words of hope from notable African American historians in our #HistoriansOnHope virtual series. We invite you to share these graphics on your favorite social media platforms. Be sure to tag us at @naamnw!
