Building Legacies
MATC partners with America’s Black Holocaust Museum (ABHM) to celebrate Milwaukee’s rich history of civil rights activists and community leaders. The founder of ABHM, Dr. Cameron, is an MATC graduate, as well as several other prominent figures in Milwaukee including Clayborn Benson, founder of Wisconsin Black Historical Society & Museum (WBHSM), and Reuben Harpole, affectionately known as the Mayor of Black Milwaukee. The exhibit will highlight ABHM, WBHSM, as well as other prominent Black MATC graduates and community leaders. Further, the exhibit will focus on the importance of heralding and preserving local Black history through storytelling, museums, and archives.
The Create Gallery is located on the first floor of the M building in room M175 inside the 6th Street Cafe space.
Regular Gallery Hours are Mon-Fri 10am-4pm
Comments Are Welcome
Note: We moderate submissions in order to create a space for meaningful dialogue, a space where museum visitors – adults and youth –– can exchange informed, thoughtful, and relevant comments that add value to our exhibits.
Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech. Commercial promotions, impersonations, and incoherent comments likewise fail to meet our goals, so will not be posted. Submissions longer than 120 words will be shortened.
