The story of the African Children’s Choir: Thirty years ago, Ray Barnett was on a humanitarian trip to war-torn Uganda when he gave a small boy a ride from his decimated home to the safety of another village. During the journey, the child did what he knew how to do best – he sang. That simple song became the catalyst for a program that has changed the lives of thousands of children and reshaped the future of the African continent. The choir raises funds that provide housing and education to Ugandan children.
Tickets include special after-hours entry to our new special exhibit, A Season of Merriment and Melody, which recreates the holiday magic of the 2004 Bush White House.
