We begin at the America’s Black Holocaust Museum, where a docent-led tour will deepen your understanding of the rich legacy, resilience, and achievements of Black Americans. Through compelling exhibits and stories, you’ll gain important historical context that continues to influence our communities today.

Afterward, we’ll gather for a delicious soul food lunch — a perfect time to relax, reflect, and connect with fellow participants and our historian, Dr. TIm Thering.

In the afternoon, we’ll visit the Wisconsin Black Historical Society Museum for a guided exploration of exhibits and artifacts highlighting Wisconsin’s African American history. Our knowledgeable docent will help bring these stories to life and welcome your questions, encouraging thoughtful conversation about the experiences and contributions of Black Wisconsinites.

Enhancing our experience throughout the day, Professor Timothy Thering will share their insights, perspectives, and expertise in Black history. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with them during lunch and throughout the tour for deeper discussion and reflection.
