Glory Movie Screening
2026-06-21 16:00 - 18:00 UTC | Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave, Huntingtong, 11743, United States
Join the Huntington African American Museum for an afternoon of film, history, and community on Juneteenth weekend. We are thrilled to host a two-part event honoring the past and foster dialogue for the future.
Experience a powerful screening of the Academy Award-winning film Glory, which tells the heroic story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first African American units in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Following the film screening is the Kitchen Table Series that is rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins in community. It is a space where people come together to share, reflect, and reconnect—reviving the idea of a “village,” where every voice matters and collective understanding is built through conversation.

Where: Cinema Arts Centre | 423 Park Ave, Huntington, NY 11743
When: June 21 | 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Admission:

$35 for Museum Members
$45 for Non-Members

American Interiority: The Life and Legacy of Peter Crippen
2026-05-08 - 2026-06-22 | Kasher Gallery & Studios, 19 Scudder Avenue, Northport, NY, 11768, United States
The Huntington African American Museum is proud to present American Interiority: The Life of Peter Crippen, on view at Kasher Gallery & Studios in Northport, NY from May 8 to June 22.
This exhibition grows from the preservation of the historic Peter Crippen House, originally built in 1657 and later home to Peter Crippen, a freed slave and one of Huntington’s first Black landowners. For nearly 150 years, the house stood as a symbol of resilience, migration, and community on Long Island.
Following years of advocacy, the structure was carefully deconstructed to preserve its materials and stories. Archaeological excavations have uncovered artifacts dating back to the 1800s and earlier, offering a rare glimpse into the lives connected to this site.
Through these discoveries, American Interiority invites visitors to reflect on history, memory, and identity. Its run coincides with Juneteenth, deepening the opportunity to consider freedom, legacy, and the ongoing effort to fully understand American history.
We are honored to partner with Kasher Gallery & Studios and look forward to welcoming you.

The standard lorem ipsum passage has been a printer’s friend for centuries. Like stock photos today, it served as a placeholder for actual content. The original text comes from Cicero’s philosophical work “De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum,” written in 45 BC.
The use of the lorem ipsum passage dates back to the 1500s. When printing presses required painstaking hand-setting of type, workers needed something to show clients how their pages would look. To save time, they turned to Cicero’s words, creating sample books filled with preset paragraphs.
However, it wasn’t until the 1960s that the passage became common when Letraset revolutionized the advertising industry with its transfer sheets. These innovative sheets allowed designers to apply pre-printed lorem ipsum text in various fonts and formats directly onto their mockups and prototypes.
