Overview
Join us at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation during Black History Month to reflect on the past, celebrate the present and commit to creating a more just future.
2025's national Black History Month theme focuses on African Americans and labor. Through tours, collection spotlights, speakers and performances, we invite you to celebrate the many ways Black innovators, inventors, entrepreneurs, activists and thinkers have moved culture forward through their work.
2025 marks 60 years since Bloody Sunday, the Selma to Montgomery marches and the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Through the recent acquisition of the Jackson House, this history is more present in our collections than ever before.
Beginning February 22, see a selection of artifacts featured in We Shall Overcome: The 60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. This Collection Spotlight, located near the Your Place in Time exhibit, explores and celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and introduces the Jackson Family. Dive into the rich story of Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson, and how they opened their doors to close friend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his allies in Dallas County and provided a place to rest and strategize the path forward to secure voting rights for African Americans.
