The EPOCHS African American Golf History Exhibitions
The Beginning
November 1999, The EPOCHS Indoor Traveling Exhibit (formerly the Epochs of Courage Exhibit) debuted in Washington, DC.
Within the next year, The EPOCHS had several showings
in Florida, and in Washington, DC at Langston Golf Course
and One Judiciary Square office building.
This one-of-a-kind exhibit was credited for being the first
African American Golf History multimedia traveling exhibit.

The Now
The EPOCHS Traveling Indoor Exhibit
Based on the extensive research and collection by author/research historian Ramona Harriet, the exhibit collection includes a wide-range inventory of memorabilia, publications, images and more…
all testifying to the contributions African Americans have made
to the game of golf, which Harriet chronicles in her book
"A Missing Link In History".
For more than twenty years, Harriet has traveled throughout
the United States talking, telling, and teaching
about African American golf history.

What's Next
As interests and requests continue to increase, we realize that a
Cross-Country Museum On Wheels
is the best way to broaden our audience.
To achieve our enduring goal to become more accessible to communities across the contiguous United States,
The EPOCHS Tour: Celebrating African American Golf History
will fulfill that goal.
