About Hidden History Museum

The Hidden History Museum of Los Angeles documents and preserves the untold stories of Black people, with particular focus on Foundational Black Americans. Founded by Tariq Nasheed, the museum uses immersive exhibits, oral histories, and archival materials to showcase narratives often absent from mainstream accounts. Visitors explore the contributions of trailblazers, civil rights activists, artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who shaped American and global communities. The museum meticulously chronicles how these figures influenced the development of Los Angeles itself. Located in Jefferson Park, a historically Black neighborhood that played a pivotal role in the city's Black community despite facing racial discrimination and socioeconomic challenges, the museum honors the area's vibrant cultural expressions and influential figures. The institution ensures these community contributions receive recognition and remembrance. The museum is situated in Los Angeles, California, and publishes its business hours online.
