Defining Black Wichita is a three-part exhibition series that chronicles the evolution of the African American community in Wichita, Kansas. Each exhibition within this series depicts the education, social endeavors, religion and businesses that watered the African American community, a hallmark in the greater city of Wichita during marked periods of time over the span of 150 years.
In this second installation of “Defining Black Wichita,” the museum explores the community’s shift from “The Black Belt” downtown to the “Heart of the Community,” the Historic McAdams/Dunbar neighborhood, beginning at 9th and Cleveland streets and extending to North Grove and Hillside. This migration ushered in a strong sense of solidarity amongst African Americans that bled over into all aspects of life. During this era, residents faced racial inequality head on with the creation of inclusive businesses, pioneering protests and boycotts, and the establishment of community traditions that drew our neighborhoods closer together.
An exhibit in accordance with Rock Your Mocs, a worldwide Native American and Indigenous Peoples' movement held annually and in remembrance of the Trail of Tears, "Sole Seekers", is an exhibit of the Mid-America All-Indian Center's outstanding moccasin collection.
$7 for Adults, $5 for Students and Military, $3 for Youth, 6 and under are free

Away From Home: American Indian Boarding School Stories explores off-reservation boarding schools in a kaleidoscope of voices. The Mid-America All-Indian Center is very excited to be able to bring this traveling exhibit from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Mid-America Arts Alliance and the Heard Museum to the Wichita area.
Beginning in the 1870s, the US government attempted to educate and assimilate American Indians into "civilized" society by placing children - of all ages, from thousands of homes and hundreds of diverse tribes - in distant, residential boarding schools. Many were forcibly taken from their families and communities and stripped of all signs of "indianness," even forbidden to speak their own language amongst themselves. Up until the 1930s, students were trained for domestic work and trade in a highly regimented environment. Many children went years without familial contact, and these events had a lasting, generational impact.
Regular admission: $7 Adults, $5 Senior (55+), $5 Military (w/ID), $5 Student (13+ w/ID) - always free for members
Museum hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm (closed 9/5 for the Labor day holiday)
