Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
Detroit, MI
The world's largest institution dedicated to the African American experience, the Wright Museum in Detroit anchors the cultural district of a city that received hundreds of thousands of Great Migration arrivals. Its permanent exhibition 'And Still We Rise' traces African history from ancient Egypt through the modern Civil Rights era.
