ROD's Summer Trip To Michigan (2011) - Part III
DAY 3: Charles H. Wright African American Museum / The Traffic Jam Restaurant

DAY 4: Thursday, July 28th, 2011...

I have heard so much about the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History... IT TOTALLY LIVED UP TO EVERY EXPECTATION AND MORE.

The circular design of the museum is outstanding and there's so much to see. And the whispers of voices that I heard that you can hear in the lobby of the museum is PHENOMENAL. It's like the Ancestors speaking, but it's actually the people having conversations in the building and the architectural is intentionally designed with the effect of hearing voices. Truly phuckin' amazing!...

I only have a few pictures of the museum and none of the exhibits on display because photography is not allowed beyond the lobby, however, even the lobby's architecture is amazing. The Warren Entrance -- let's go...
