Featuring an ongoing exhibit, “Of the People: The African-American Experience,” the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History showcases one of the largest displays on African-American people in the nation. The museum also is featuring another exhibition, “Human Rights, Civil Wrongs,” that examines the relationship between the meaning of the U.S. Constitution and the continuing struggle of African Americans. Admission for the museum is $5 for adults and $3 for children (17 and under).
