Today’s show was broadcast from the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
Dr. Charles H. Wright was a physician, a gynecologist and obstetrician. Through the years he delivered 7,000 babies in Detroit alone. He also founded the museum in his office by first collecting small items.
The 22,000-square-foot museum holds the largest exhibit dedicated to the history of African Americans.
