Help Us Build Exhibits That Honor Black Film History

The Black Movie Hall of Fame (BMHOF) is on a mission to preserve, celebrate, and elevate the legacy of Black filmmakers, actors, and storytellers who have shaped American cinema for over a century.

We’re raising $10,000 to support the creation of exhibits that will live inside the historic Boone Theater—our future home in the heart of Kansas City. This is a micro fundraiser, but your contribution has a major impact.

Why This Matters

For too long, the stories, struggles, and triumphs of Black filmmakers have been underrepresented or forgotten. The BMHOF is working to change that—one exhibit at a time.

These exhibits will:

Share the untold stories of Black pioneers in film

Highlight iconic moments and groundbreaking achievements

Inspire the next generation of Black creatives and film lovers

How You Can Help

Your gift—whether $5, $50, or $500—directly funds:

Custom exhibit designs

Archival materials and displays

Interactive installations and immersive storytelling

Every dollar brings us closer to opening our doors with powerful, professionally designed exhibits that honor the past and shape the future.

Be Part of Film History

This is your chance to say “I helped build the Black Movie Hall of Fame.” Whether you're a film buff, an advocate for equity, or someone who believes in the power of stories—we need you.

Please give what you can and share this campaign with friends, family, and fellow film lovers.

Let’s preserve our history. Let’s honor our legends.

Let’s build this together.
