Today is Election Day.
As we exercise our right to vote, we remember the long and courageous struggle for Black voting rights and honor the Black men and women who sacrificed, organized, marched, and fought to secure and protect this fundamental right.
The African American Cultural and Historical Museum of Washtenaw County (AACHM) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization and does not endorse or oppose candidates for public office. Any previous social media content that suggested otherwise was posted inadvertently and has been removed.
Today, we encourage everyone who is eligible to vote to exercise that right and to remember those whose courage and sacrifice helped make it possible.
Honor the legacy. Know the history. Exercise your right to vote.
