"Reconciliation" is one of America's Black Holocaust Museum's four themes, which serve as pillars in our virtual museum. While redemption focuses more on personal actions and growth, reconciliation is a multifaceted societal ideal involving positive relationships between the Black and non-Black communities. Racial reconciliation requires honesty and openness as we examine and acknowledge the harm caused by racism and adjust society and our attitudes to end present harm and move closer to equality.
Our founder, Dr. James Cameron, encouraged us to remember and to speak honestly and respectfully about our shared racial history, believing this would lead to racial reconciliation.
Many events and breaking news articles continue to showcase this theme as Black Americans break stereotypes and barriers to success.
ABHM calls on people everywhere to work for liberty and justice for all. Stand with us by signing our Freedom Lovers’ Pledge. Let others know of your commitment by putting your name (and photo if you’re willing) alongside other Freedom Lovers on our Roll Call Wall. Thank you!

Read More About This TopicFrom about 1900 to 1965, most African Americans were not allowed to vote in the South. White people in power used many methods to keep black people from voting. Some of these methods also prevented poor white people from voting. Today there are still laws and customs that make it harder for African Americans, other minorities, and some whites to vote.
