About this event

The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center was founded in 1961 by Margaret Burroughs, an educator, artist, and activist who lived in Chicago. This year, the museum celebrates the 65th anniversary of its founding. Enjoy not only permanent exhibits that celebrate and preserve African American history and culture, but also the new multi-installation, Paris in Black: Internationalism and the Black Renaissance. Throughout the museum, you will learn how Paris became a vital crossroads for Black American artists from the 1890s through the mid-20th century.

For entry, no physical ticket is required, but please wear your Alumni Weekend badge and present it to the ticket takers. Please note: No food, water, or backpacks are permitted in this space.
