Upcoming Event

America’s Black Holocaust Museum’s founder, Dr. James Cameron, was an avid reader and inspiring writer and educator. To this day, he is the only known survivor of a lynching to write and publish a memoir about such an experience. This month’s book selection is his memoir, A Time of Terror: A Survivor’s Story, which we will discuss on February 23rd at 6 PM CT via Zoom.

The ABHM Book Club is free and open to all who are able to attend, although the books will need to be purchased by each participant. You can purchase a copy locally at the museum or at Boswell Books. If you are having trouble finding a copy, please email admin@abhmuseum.org.

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.
