Description
The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is inside the city's Midtown Cultural Center, and is one of the world's oldest independent African American museums.
Founded in 1965, the museum holds the world's largest permanent collection of African-American culture. With a collection of more than 35,000 artifacts, the current 125,000-square-foot museum opened as the largest museum in the world dedicated to African American history.
The Wright, whose exhibits include Underground Railroad documents and letters from Malcolm X and Rosa Parks, also hosted memorial events for Parks and the 'Queen of Soul,' Aretha Franklin, who lay in state in the museum's rotunda in 2005 and 2018, respectively.
