“A journey is called that because you cannot know what you will discover on the journey, what you will do with what you find, or what you find will do to you.”

― James Baldwin

The National Museum of the Great Migration explores all aspects of the migration experience, with a particular focus on the architecture and modes of transportation that shaped the journeys of those who migrated.

The Museum’s mission is to provide a space that promotes a greater understanding of the Great Migration and its lasting effects.
