AIM and Appsky partner up to support Great Plains Black History Museum
Interface: The Web School partnered with Appsky Labs, an Omaha-based software development company, on a fundraising project with the Great Plains Black History Museum. Together, the organizations hope to raise $3,000 to pay for the development of a new website for the museum.
The Great Plains Black History Museum’s mission is “to preserve, celebrate and educate all people of the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout the great plains of America.” Last fall, the museum moved into North Omaha’s historic Jewell Building at 2221 N. 24th St.
The new website will help the museum expand its impact in the local community and beyond. Visit the fundraising page to contribute.
