  • In Memoriam

    Devastated by the loss of many African Americans due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charles H. Wright Museum acknowledges their life and legacy.
Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you don’t matter, or like you don’t have a place in our American story—because you do.
Michelle Obama, attorney, author and former First Lady
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
Langston Hughes, poet and playwright
Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.
