    Presented by Bank of America, "Voting Matters" is an interactive multimedia exhibition that illustrates the work of African Americans from pre-Reconstruction through the present day, in the development of the basic principles and values surrounding our current understanding of what it means to have the “right to vote” in democratic societies around the world.

  • 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.
Dr. Mae Jemison, first African-American female astronaut
