MLK Day at The Wright | The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History - Event
The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is celebrating the life and lasting legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by offering three days of new featured programs, performances and living history demonstrations, plus special tours and screenings in Giant Screen Experience, from January 13-15.
Admission and parking to Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is also free on the recognized holiday, January 15.
This celebration powerfully coincides with the final weekend of Mandela: The Official Exhibition. In recognition of Mandela’s values and commitment to making the world a better place, our thoughts turn to the American Civil Rights Movement and the inspiration to be drawn from individuals and communities. We invite you to join us to reflect on the words, the songs and the spirit of justice.
