History in the House: Celebrating 60 Years at The Wright

March 8, 2025 | 9am - 6pm

On March 10th, 1965, Dr. Charles H. Wright and 32 people, who represented the Detroit community, attended an organizational meeting for the museum.  After significant discussion, a motion was made and passed to support the concept of a museum “dedicated to the task of correcting the distortions and filling in the deletions of the recorded Black experience”.  

Join us for a family friendly and free day at The Wright to celebrate this 60-year milestone!

We will have a full day of activities, community vendors, food and fun.  

This will be the closing weekend for our Gems and Paul Collins exhibitions.  Don’t miss your chance to see these exhibitions.
