The Charles H Wright Museum of African American History has been a staple for generations of Detroiters. 

It's been 60 years since The Wright first opened its doors in 1965, the same year that the Voting Rights Act was signed into law.

Through the years, The Wright has been a place of learning and a frequent field trip destination where visitors learn histories often left out of major cultural institutions. 

Director of Design and Fabrication Kevin Davidson spoke with The Metro's Tia Graham about the legacy of The Wright.
