Celebrating the African Spirit Click to Donate to the CAS Memorial Marker Click to Donate to the CAS Memorial Marker Click to Donate to the CAS Memorial Marker Honoring the Legacy of Africans and their descendants in Poughkeepsie NY Our Vision CELEBRATING THE AFRICAN SPIRIT presents memorials to celebrate and commemorate the contributions of Africans and their descendants to the building and growth of Poughkeepsie and the Dutchess County region from the work of the earliest enslaved persons through today. We collaborate with other organizations and entities to provide opportunities for education and exploration so that the entire community can learn more about this purposefully neglected and ignored aspect of American history. New Exhibits at Adriance Memorial Library In honor of Black History Month CAS has set up new displays in the Adriance Memorial Library of the Poughkeepsie Library District available for viewing. Exhibits are located on both the ground floor and in the rotunda on the second floor.
