WICHITA (AP) — Plans for a new Kansas African American Museum in Wichita are on hold while supporters raise money and develop the museum’s mission.

The museum’s board of directors has returned 1.2 acres of land the city leased to the museum for $1 a year in 2005.

The museum’s executive director, Mark McCormick, says plans for the museum are postponed for up to five years to allow supporters to raise money.

The Wichita Eagle reports the current museum is housed in the Calvary Baptist Church, which was built in 1917. It is one of the few surviving buildings in Wichita’s black business district.

Supporters hope to someday move the museum to downtown Wichita and expand its mission, which currently focuses mostly on black history in Wichita.
