Ama Igbo n'Amerika
The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia (FCMV), in its effort to recognize and honor ethnic cultures that influenced the frontier Virginian culture, is developing its West Africa Exhibit, which will be represented by a traditional Igbo compound. This is a rare honor and recognition of the contributions of our ancestors in the development and emergence of the present State of Virginia. This compound will have houses with decor, arts, crafts and surrounding vegetation from the 18th century Igbo Nation. All materials for the construction by the Museum staff have been imported from Ala Igbo. The Frontier Culture Museum has found a solution to the problem of getting experts from Nigeria to guide the construction of the Igbo compound in Staunton VA. To find out how you can support this laudable effort, please contact the Coordinator, Dr. Kanayo Odeluga at kenenna88@yahoo. com .
