In conjunction with our newest exhibition “Sixteen Pieces,” the DuSable Museum celebrates the Yoruba culture during a day of special family oriented activities including, storytelling, arts & crafts, live musical performances, and a special Naming Ceremony where visitors can learn the significance and importance of how Yoruba children are named! In addition; artists Robert Paige and DeMarcus Hyler will assist parents and children with designing their own mini-art booklet which highlights selected artifacts in the exhibition. As a very special treat, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the DuSable Mobile Museum which will also be available throughout the day.

DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E. 56th Pl., Chicago. Saturday, April 30th from 11:00am to 3:00pm. This event is free with admission into the museum.
