Where Our Past, Our Present, and Our People Converge

More Than a Museum

The Wright is a space for education, celebration and reflection.

Detroit is on the move. And so are we.

We’re proud to ride The Detroit People Mover—a moving symbol of 60 years of impact at The Wright.

This isn’t just a train; it’s a symbol of how far we’ve come, how deeply we’re rooted, and how boldly we’re charting the course ahead. From the heart of the city to the hearts of its people, our legacy is in motion—literally!

The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is proud to be the engine behind our momentum.

Here’s to the next 60 years!
