| Signing of the Civil Rights Act |
And now it is time to pay a visit to another Ohio historical site. The National Afro American Museum and Cultural Center in Wilberforce offers a unique combination of arts, culture, and history for a diverse visitor experience. The museum's main display focuses on the Afro-American experience in the US during the Fifties (1945 - 1965). This era was characterized by demographic and social changes in the Afro-American community. These events are chronicled throughout the museum through wall-size photographs, such as the one above, a historically-furnished house, and many period artifacts such as the poster below. This sign from the Freedom Movement stresses the fact that racial freedom is economic as well as political.
