Exhibit Tour and Dinner: 1:30PM—5:00PM
CHARLES WRIGHT MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY
315 E. Warren Detroit, MI 48201


Permanent Exhibit:
The journey begins in prehistoric Africa, the cradle of human life. Guests then witness several ancient and early modern civilizations that evolved on the continent. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean, they experience the tragedy of the middle passage and encounter those who resisted the horrors of bondage, emancipated themselves and sometimes took flight by way of the Underground Railroad. Throughout this trip, the efforts of everyday men and women who built families, businesses, educational institutions, spiritual traditions, civic organizations and a legacy of freedom and justice in past and present-day Detroit are hailed. What an awesome journey!


Visiting Exhibit:
Soul Sanctuary is an exhibition that captures the essence and rhythms of the black church. Over the course of ten years, photographer Jason Miccolo Johnson traversed the country, visiting large "mega-churches," and small "store-front" churches. During that time he took more than 15,000 black and white images of which 75 are included in the exhibition and the companion book.
