## About

A history museum in Milwaukee's Bronzeville that builds public awareness of the harmful legacies of slavery and Jim Crow in America and promotes racial repair, reconciliation and healing. Visitors move through its galleries on their own or with a griot (docent) guide for groups of ten or more; a newer mini-gallery, An American Inheritance, tells the story of racist memorabilia. Parking is street parking only.
