About: The former site of Randy’s Barbershop, an important landmark in Southampton’s local black community and in the village as a whole, this property was purchased in 2006 for use as a museum of Long Island’s African American history. Although not yet open to the public, the structure is now the focus of a rehabilitation project aimed at establishing the East End African American Museum and Center for Excellence (EEAAMCE). The group behind this effort currently hosts a black film festival and other educational programs to support their cause.
