Family History Day
Like our nation, every family has a story worth telling. To honor the traditions of family history and storytelling, join America’s Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) for a Griot-led tour exploring the history and experiences of African American families. Visitors will also have opportunities to learn how to preserve family stories and meaningful objects while encouraging younger generations to connect with their ancestors through a hands-on “Museum of Me” activity.
Guests can also explore the histories of Milwaukee families whose lives and contributions helped shape the city and its communities.

Comments Are Welcome
Note: We moderate submissions in order to create a space for meaningful dialogue, a space where museum visitors – adults and youth –– can exchange informed, thoughtful, and relevant comments that add value to our exhibits.
Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech. Commercial promotions, impersonations, and incoherent comments likewise fail to meet our goals, so will not be posted. Submissions longer than 120 words will be shortened.
