"As the birthplace of the civil rights movement, the home of the Atlanta University Center and
a city with a 30-year legacy of African-American leadership. We in Atlanta are blessed to have
such a resource as the APEX Museum."

"The APEX will help bind our state and the nation together to show times of celebration,
challenge, achievement, and disappointment. In effect, the APEX will display the real story of
America..."

"The work that the APEX has undertaken, provides the cornerstone for Black self-esteem and
empowerment that is critical to our forward movement."

"The APEX has been an invaluable source of insight into the African American experience for
several years. The many programs and exhibits have touched the lives of many people locally,
nationally, and internationally."

"My wife Carol and I whole-heatedly support the APEX Museum. I believe that this institution
fills a place in Atlanta and the Southeast that was much needed. I look forward to seeing the
APEX Museum become a more important institution in Atlanta in the years to come. "
