Nebraska Black History Art Contest

About Us

Our Mission

The Nebraska Black History Art Contest uses art to teach history in the hope that we learn from our past, so we do not repeat its mistakes. We use art and history to teach tolerance, acceptance and the “Golden Rule,” which tells us to treat others as you would want to be treated.

Get Involved

We invite you to sponsor the 2019 Nebraska Black History Art Contest or advertise in the 2019 Black History Information and Activity Book, which is a free publication for Nebraska's students and the public. Call us at 402-714-6744 or email us.
