Exploration Place and The Kansas African American Museum have partnered for the fifth year to honor African American leaders in STEM fields during Black History Month.

Each week in February, the image of different African American pioneer in science will be projected on the side of Exploration Place’s iconic island building. The 2026 honorees are Harold Miller, Dr. Donald Jackson, Col. George Boyd and Charyl McAfee-Duncan.
