Located in Detroit, Michigan, The Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History’s Still I Rise Exhibit is one of the most prolific walk-through journeys into the past. This long-term exhibition serves as the central experience of the museum. The 22,000-square foot exhibition contains more than 20 galleries that allow patrons to travel over time and across geographic boundaries.

The journey begins in Africa, the cradle of human life. Witness several ancient and early modern civilizations that evolved on the continent. Cross the Atlantic Ocean, experience the tragedy of the Middle Passage, and encounter those who resisted the horrors of bondage, emancipated themselves, and sometimes took flight by way of the Underground Railroad. This is an incredible exhibit to view.
