America’s Black Holocaust Museum
Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1984 by Dr. James Cameron, who survived a lynching at age 16. It is the world’s only museum to memorialize the 500-year-long story of the holocaust endured and resisted by enslaved Africans and their descendants in America. This museum shares the story of the African-American experience from pre-captivity to the present as an integral part of U.S. history. Exhibits include the following displays: story of African people before captivity, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, auction blocks, the civil rights movement (both past and present), and more. www.abhmuseum.org
