America’s Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) is proud to announce the return of its Dr. James Cameron Founder’s Day Celebration, a two-day observance and fundraiser dedicated to honoring the life, courage, and enduring legacy of Dr. James Cameron — a lynching survivor, historian, museum founder, and profound advocate for truth, justice, and racial healing.
Held February 20–21, 2026, this year’s theme—Love in Action: Remembering the Legacy of Dr. James Cameron—invites Milwaukee community residents, regional and national partners to engage in transformative storytelling, reflection, and community dialogue. Through Dr. Cameron’s example, the celebration will uplift the urgent call to live our values courageously and cultivate justice, reconciliation, and education within our communities. Both celebration days will take place at the America’s Black Holocaust Museum, located at 401 W. North Avenue in Milwaukee.
The museum welcomes community leaders, educators, faith communities, advocates, and residents to join this revival of a treasured Milwaukee tradition. The celebration will offer compelling moments, interviews, and visual storytelling opportunities.
Mark your calendars and plan to join us at America’s Black Holocaust Museum as we uplift Dr. Cameron’s journey and recommit ourselves to the work he began.
