Founded in 1965, the Charles H. Wright Museum houses over 35,000 artifacts and archival materials and a vision of a world in which the adversity and achievement of African American history inspire everyone toward greater understanding, acceptance and unity! It is home to the Blanche Coggin Underground Railroad Collection, Harriet Tubman Museum, Coleman A. Young, and Sheffield Collections (a repository of documents of the labor movement in Detroit). Spend two hours on a self-guided, mind opening, life changing exploration and celebration of African American history and culture. View The Ford Freedom Rotunda and the Ring of Genealogy, and experience the museum’s 22,000 square foot, interactive core exhibit And Still We Rise, the largest single exhibition on African American history in existence. Photography is prohibited. After the museum enjoy lunch on your own, at Joe Louis Southern Kitchen.
