Founded in 1965, The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, exists to serve Metropolitan Detroit and national communities by providing exceptional exhibitions and programs based on outstanding collections and research that explore the diversity of African American history and culture.
Dr. Charles Wright, an obstetrician and gynecologist, envisioned an institution to preserve Black history after visiting a memorial to Danish World War II heroes in Denmark. As a result of this visit, he was convinced that Black Americans needed a similar resource center to document, preserve and educate the public on their history, life and culture.
