Established in 1894 as The West Jackson Colored School, the museum’s building was named after Smith Robertson, a slave born in Fayette, Alabama who moved to Jackson, Mississippi after the American Civil War. The school remained in session until 1971 when it was court-ordered to close because of academic desegregation laws. The building was emptied out and due to be demolished until community efforts led by Dr. Jessie Mosley and Dr. Alferdteen Harrison, both academic leaders in African-American history and culture, convinced city leaders to sell them the building. In 1984, the school reopened as the Smith Robertson Museum and Cultural Center.
