Terrible representation of the Black Holocaust. The Jewish museums all across America does a better job at portraying the devastation of a people. ? Get it together black people.

I’ll never forget Dr. James Cameron visiting my middle school in Marion, Indiana to tell is about the story of the Marion lynching. I remember him talking about the need to have a black holocaust museum to talk about racial injustice in America. It was amazing to see his legacy alive at the ABHM. It’s a beautiful place. The gallery was well thought out. It was both truthful and hopeful. The staff are really nice. May God continue to bless the good work at the ABHM.

This museum is definitely worth supporting and stopping to visit! My partner discovered it unexpectedly as we are staying at an airbnb just a few blocks away. It took us about an hour to go thru all the exhibits. The museum was well put-together, extremely informative, sobering, and though my partner and I knew quite a lot of black history going into this visit, we learned many new things, too!This museum is doing super important work and the $7 admission per person is such a small and simple way to support and further the great things it's doing in the milwaukee area and beyond.

We traveled to Milwaukee for a wedding and I wanted to do things unique to the city. This museum popped up and we went. Although very sobering, it is very informative and is a reminder of how deficient the American education system is about educating us about racism, the atrocities done against black people, and persistent systemic racism.

The museum was a nice selection to visit for Black History month. I encourage all to seek and learn about America's Black History, every day history.Thank you Dr. Cameron for such a gift of history.

The real black holocaust is the homicide rates and crime in Milwaukee. For 3 straight years the homicide rate has increased mainly in the north side, and no one is doing nothing about it

Highlights 1. Friendly Staff2. Educational 3. Incredible Founder StoryWe visited America's Black Holocaust Museum today during the 10 day "Museum Days" promotion. Coming here and exploring this museum has been on my Milwaukee Bucket List for a long time. The venue is newer and feels polished and clean. We were greeted by friendly staff members who got us tickets, a museum map (it's small but mighty!), and a little explanation of what we were about to see. The founder of the museum has an incredibly inspiring story about why he founded this museum and what his vision for the space was. The Musuem is all in one room and easy to navigate. I learned a ton about the Black Holocaust and the impact on the city of Milwaukee. This Museum is of course heavy but so very important for people to visit and learn. I can't recommend enough!

We visited on Friday, September 9, 2022. The museum has superb and stunning exhibits that show the horror of the US black genocide as well as relevant African history depicting West African civilization on the eve of the Atlantic Slave Trade. The displays reflect the highest level of scholarly research and techniques of presentation. It is indeed criminal that today several Republican-led states have made it illegal to mention any of the realities of the slave-labor system in the US in schools. What are we going to do about it?

As another visitor said, "It's a lot to take in." It does a great job of showing the flourishing ancient civilizations through modern times. Friendly, accessible staff. I heard t shirts are coming soon - there weren't any available for Open Doors MKE. Moving and well done.

I came here with my work in an effort to continue our Diversity and Inclusion. My associate suggested we check out the America's Black Holocaust Museum that had just reopened. Such a great experience! We had a group of 14 and were able to have a guided tour. You're able to go on your own throughout the self guided museum, but I thought it would be a nice touch to have a guided tour. It was such a beautiful building and an eye opening experience! To see Dr. Cameron's vision come to life and see and read what he experienced with surviving a lynching at the age of sixteen was mind-blowing. I love learning about history and I loved how they setup the museum, so organized. Upon leaving you feel well informed and see things from a different perspective. Only downfall to the tour was the street parking, but hopefully in the future that can be changed. Other than that it was a great experience. I would suggest anyone to take the time to learn more and see history from another's perspective. I will leave you with these words that stuck with me from Dr. Cameron: "Hatred is a disease that eats into the core of whole body and destroys it from within. But if you have love in your heart, you can blossom as the sun shines every day."

It's a small museum, but it was great. There's alot of reading so you could easily spend quite some time there. But the exhibit was very informative and well put together. I learned quite a bit. I encourage anyone in Milwaukee to stop by!
