Crispus Attucks of York
History & Culture Center
Welcome to the Crispus Attucks York History & Culture Center (CAY HCC), where we celebrate and preserve the vibrant history of York, Pennsylvania’s Black community. Our center is committed to highlighting the stories, contributions, and experiences that have shaped the region, while honoring the legacy of the Crispus Attucks Association, an institution that has long served as a cornerstone for progress and change. Through our exhibits, programs, and educational initiatives, we aim to create a space that fosters understanding, reflection, and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of CAY and the Black community of York.
Informing the Present and Inspiring the Future
At CAY HCC, we believe in the power of history to inform the present and inspire the future. Our mission is to engage the community in open dialogue about racial issues—past, present, and future—and to promote multicultural harmony. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore interactive exhibits and participate in immersive experiences designed to provoke thought and encourage conversation. Whether through our physical exhibitions or our innovative virtual programs, CAY HCC is dedicated to creating meaningful connections across cultures and generations.
