Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center (KAA-MaCC) was founded in 2013 by two ladies and some G. W. Carver High School alumni who saw a need for a place where people of all cultures could come together and share their traditions and customs.

Today, the leadership team is small but passionate about preserving the history and culture of African Americans in Cabarrus and Rowan Counties, North Carolina. The KAA-MaCC Team is “Continuing the Quest for History Untold.”

The Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center, Inc. (KAA-MaCC) seeks recognition as a national model for documenting, interpreting, and presenting local history and culture. We will build a museum and cultural center to serve, engage, and enrich the community.

The KAA-MaCC mission is to collect and preserve the history and culture of African Americans in Cabarrus and Rowan Counties, North Carolina. Our goal is to serve as a bridge between the African-American community and the public, fostering inclusiveness, diversity, and community engagement.
