The McKenna Museums d/b/a The George and Leah McKenna Museum of African American Art / Le Musée de f.p.c.

The McK Museums (The George & Leah McKenna Museum of African American Art & Le Musée de f.p.c.) tell the stories of Black individuals who have been locked out of the larger American narrative. We are focused on "truth-telling" and sharing "our" narrative. Our boutique-style experience is idiosyncratic, allowing each visitor to establish interpersonal relationships between the museum and self through education and preservation of Black New Orleans material culture.

Many of the exhibits came from the ever evolving collections of McKenna Museums' founders, Beverly Stanton McKenna and Dr. Dwight McKenna, who spent over 30 years acquiring relevant material, with the idea of one day sharing it with the public. Their collection is available for viewing at Le Musée de f.p.c. and The George and Leah McKenna Museum of African American Art. Beverly Stanton McKenna and Dr. Dwight McKenna are also the founders and executive publishers of the modern day New Orleans Tribune, which shares its name with a publication by free man of color, Dr. Louis Charles Roudanez. Dr. Roudanez was a surgeon, activist, and publisher of two Civil War era newspapers. Le Musée de f.p.c is dedicated in his honor and his numerous selfless acts as a crusader of truth-telling and justice for communities of African descent. The McKenna Museum is committed to the preservation of the distinct culture found within the African American community of Louisiana. The George & Leah McKenna Museum is named in honor of the parents of Dr. Dwight McKenna. The McKenna family has a long legacy of advocating educational excellence, especially amongst youth.
