With cultural travel proving a trend in 2024, these museums across the United States are worth visiting to learn about Black history.
History museums are integral in conveying the complex stories of those who call this nation home by documenting eras, prominent leaders, and movements that have shaped America.
For Black Americans, that includes remembering enslavement, the Jim Crow years, and decades of racially-motivated injustices. However, our story extends far beyond the barriers of racism into triumphant feats in sports, music, politics, arts, and the many ways Black Americans have shaped–and continue to shape–culture. With cultural travel on track to be a 2024 travel trend, it’s the perfect time to plan a trip around visiting one of these Black History museums.
