ABHM featured on Milwaukee Public Television

It’s not every museum you can visit from the comfort of your own home!

In this week’s Black Nouveau program, MPTV producers highlighted ABHM’s 21st century form of armchair travel and education.

This week’s program Trippin’ included a virtual visit to ABHM and describes the rich historical and contemporary resources to be found on the site. Trippin’ also feature three other Wisconsin-based museums that offer important exhibitions about local and national African American history:

• 

  The Wisconsin Black Historical Society and Museum in Milwaukee, where exhibits focus on the roles that African Americans have historically played in the city and state.
• The National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, which contains an extensive exhibit about the history of Pullman porters.
• The Milton House Museum in Milton, a very active and important stop on the Underground Railroad.

Here is Trippin’ in its entirety. The segment on ABHM begins at minute 19:45.
