The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is one of the world's oldest independent African American museums.

Founded in 1965, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History has for over half a century been a leading institution dedicated to the African-American experience.

Ground was broken for the third generation of the Museum in August 1993.
