"Resistance" is one of America's Black Holocaust Museum's four themes, which serve as pillars in our virtual museum.
People of African descent in this country have been targets of injustice for five hundred years, but they have not been simply victims. At America's Black Holocaust Virtual Museum, we remember the many ways that black people and freedom-loving white people have resisted injustice, even when doing so threatened their lives and liberty.
However, resistance can also take on a negative format when those people who have benefitted from systemic racism oppose changes that would benefit the Black community or other people of color. We are currently in the midst of cultural and political resistance that threatens equality and progress.
Many events and breaking news articles continue to showcase this theme as Black Americans break stereotypes and barriers to success.
After 144 years of silent indifference, seven African American men lynched in October 1878 are officially recognized with a memorial bench and sign in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Thanks to Sophie Kloppenburg, a true inspiration, we will never forget.

Read More About This TopicMillions of freed Black Americans built their own communities across the South post-Civil War. They worked to establish a life of freedom and prosperity for themselves and future generations. Schooling, church, and family were important pillars of community-building. They meant to enjoy their freedom to live with family, unite in marriage, raise children, worship in the open, and educate the next generation.
Read More About This TopicThis series of six paintings and three collages is the response of Chicago artist Jennifer Scott to souvenir lynching postcards. She thought about what she did not see in the postcards: the family members left behind to take down the victim, to mourn and bury the remains-if there was enough to bury.

Read More About This TopicLearn about the significant complicity of the northern states in the slave trade and slaveholding in the history of slavery in the United States. Many northern industries and business were dependent on slave labor in both the North and South. Northern consumers were dependent on the products of this slave labor for food, clothing, and amenities like rum and sugar.
Read More About This TopicThis exhibit gives a short history of the black press, some of the important journalist involved, and the vital role it has played in advancing the ideals of American democracy and supporting African American identity and culture.
Read More About This TopicWhy haven’t more people heard about Bayard Rustin? Rustin organized sit-ins and freedom rides some twenty years before the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. He was the person who convinced Dr. King to use nonviolence in the Montgomery bus boycott, and he organized King’s 1963 March on Washington. Learn why Bayard Rustin remains an unsung hero despite his groundbreaking work over a long lifetime.
