Experience The Wright

Where history's well within reach.

  • Roberta Hughes Wright Memorial Golf Classic

    Join us at the end of July at the recently renovated Rouge Park Golf Course for the Roberta Hughes Wright Memorial Golf Classic! This fun-filled day of golf, food, and fellowship, presented by Avis Ford, will provide much needed support for the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.

  • Wright Now

    Entertaining. Educating. Inspiring. Experience incredible moments from the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History through our new online collection.

  • 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.

  • Queen: From the Collection of CCH Pounder

    Featuring artwork by Africans, African-Americans, and artists from the Diaspora, the pieces on display in Queen are drawn from the personal collection of award-winning actress CCH Pounder, and span a range of styles and mediums.
This museum is a part of my legacy—and the legacy of so many others in the great city of Detroit's African-American community.
