Support Our Mission

This September, honor the legacy of Lewis Latimer—Black inventor, poet, and humanist—by making a gift to support the Lewis Latimer House.

Your donation will help us reach our $15,000 goal and unlock a 1:1 matching gift from our Board of Directors.

As one of the few museums dedicated to celebrating Black innovation and creativity in science and the arts, LLH plays a critical role in shaping a more inclusive future. Every dollar you give helps us spark curiosity, elevate underrepresented voices, and create meaningful learning experiences rooted in Lewis Latimer’s story.

Become—or renew—as a Friend of the Lewis Latimer House today. Together, we can empower tomorrow’s problem-solvers through the legacy of a man who helped illuminate the world.
