The OBMAPAC was founded by Ms. Funches in 2008; and has been the recipient of thousands of pieces of art created by African-Americans and/or donated since then for sale and/or display. OBMAPAC is located at 4701 N. Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK. Ms. Funches also makes the resources available to other Black Interest Organizations (BIOs) for meetings and other community events.
In 2016 Ms. Funches founded the NAAJLM as a subsidiary of the OBMAPAC. Her vision is to have the NAAJLM be a repository and archives for the documentation of the true origin, history, and development of jazz as the only original music created in the USA from the"belly of the slave ships," as described by jazz great Eubie Blake, and from the perspective of the Black/African-American experience, to demonstrate the historical flow of jazz from the arrival of Africans to these American shores to throughout the African Diaspora.It will include the period of African enslavement, freedom from slavery and its Juneteenth celebrations that followed, to the struggle for civil rights, justice, and African-American self-determination, which continues to the present day. The mission is for the NAAJLM to be the premier Jazz Museum in the nation and the world.
