Museum of African American History |
||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||
| Established in 1965 by Dr. Charles H. Wright, a Detroit physician, the museum documents, preserves, and educates the public on the history, life, and culture of African Americans. It also serves as a resource center for the enhancement of knowledge and understanding about African Americans. Of particular interest to the group was a sculpture depicting the Middle Passage which includes many life-like statues of enslaved boys. Young boys from Detroit posed for these magnificent yet emotionally wrenching images.
We were not permitted to take photographs beyond the majestic rotunda during our visit to the museum. |
