NELA Delta African American Heritage Museum

The museum houses Louisiana's largest and most significant collection of work, by world renowned expressionist artist and Northeast Louisiana native, Don Cincone. His paintings, with their brilliant hues and sympathetic subjects, are both evocative and tender. In addition to the work of Don Cincone, the museum also exhibits talented regional artists including Daryl Triplet and Bernard Menyweather and hundreds of artifacts from African American life in Northeast Louisiana throughout the centuries including models of famous African American leaders like statesman and reformer Frederick Douglass, educator Mary Bethune and first African American millionaire and businesswoman Madam C.J. Walker, as well as an archival section featuring local African American leaders, their history and contributions.
