2018 June Research Trip LAAAGS members took a Research Trip to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit on June 30th. Members attending: Gary and Ruby Wilkes, Jessica Trotter, and Mike and Willye Bryan. The museum visit was an excellent opportunity to see a great historical presentation of the African American experience from Mother Africa, through the Middle Passage to the U.S. and Caribbean Islands. The curation culminates into present day U.S. history. This was a memorable trip and recommended by all that attended! The day was made even more enjoyable by a trip to Detroit's Eastern Market! |
