Lo-fi encourages, excites & promotes the enjoyment of human-powered activities. Lo-fi believes that human-powered activities should be physically, emotionally, and mentally rewarding and, most importantly, they should be fun. We are not alone in our belief that over time, human-powered activities such as riding a bicycle, walking, or jumping around on a pogo stick can make people happier, healthier, and strengthen ties within our communities. By engaging in the fun of getting up, getting out, and getting active, we can inspire even more people to follow suit. This not only improves our lives, but can radically change the world around us

From the website: "… the museum has objectively interpreted and presented the achievements and aspirations of African Americans from pre-colonial times to the current day. The museum is committed to telling the story of African Americans in all its permutations: family life, the Civil Rights movement, arts and entertainment, sports, medicine, architecture, politics, religion, law and technology. The AAMP currently houses four galleries and an auditorium, each of which offer exhibitions anchored by one of our three dominant themes: the African Diaspora, the Philadelphia Story, and the Contemporary Narrative."
