Sep 24, 2025

Then, we acknowledge the 60th anniversary of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in an interview from earlier this year with longtime museum employee Kevin Davidson, who currently serves as Director of Design and Fabrication Services.

Davidson talks with Henderson about his connection to the museum’s founder, Dr. Charles H. Wright, and how he began working at the museum in its early days.  He discusses the museum’s legacy, its various locations over the years, and how the exhibits have expanded and evolved into immersive experiences for visitors.
