Harlem Museum Sheds Light on North's Overlooked Civil Rights History

The Urban Civil Rights Museum in Harlem, opening in 2026, aims to highlight the North's overlooked civil rights history, focusing on issues like housing, policing, and education, and serving as a counterweight to efforts to erase or distort this history. It is part of a larger $300 million development that includes cultural and leadership spaces, emphasizing Harlem's pivotal role in the civil rights movement and current efforts to promote racial justice and inclusion.
