"Redemption" is one of America's Black Holocaust Museum's four themes, which serve as pillars in our virtual museum.
Redemption is the act of saving – or being saved – from sin, error, or evil. Sometimes one person redeems another, or many others. Sometimes people redeem themselves. We tell the stories of both kinds of redemption.
Many events and breaking news articles continue to showcase this theme as Black Americans break stereotypes and barriers to success.
Arno Michaels grew up as a gifted child of privilege. In his teens he became a white-power extremist, a leader of skinheads. Today he is an international activist for peace, justice, and basic human kindness. Read his story and watch a video about his transformation and redemption.
