This Black World War II History Museum is the only one of its kind in the U.S. The museum was created not to glorify war but to document it -- In particular to honor the long-ignored role of African-Americans in the largest worldwide conflict of human history.
The Museum's goal is to enlighten visitors about the relatively unknown and unappreciated contribution of the 1.1 million African-Americans who served in the U.S. military in World War II.
More than a collection and display of objects, the museum is a center for ongoing teaching and research on this broad subject.
