Places Across the

Country to Learn

About African

American History

In honor of Black History Month, we’re highlighting spots across

the U.S. where you can immerse yourself in some of the myriad

contributions, achievements and defining moments of African

Americans. From hearing the untold stories of Black cowboys in Texas,

to listening to over 50 genres of music at the newly opened National

Museum of African American Music in Nashville, to standing in front

of the lunch counter where a sit-in sparked peaceful action for racial

equality in the segregated ’60s, here is merely a selection of places to

add to your list—one intended to inspire more learning about and

honoring of Black history at any time of the year. —Kathleen Rellihan
