North American Black Historical Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nazrey African Methodist Episcopal Church National Historic Site and North American Black Historical Museum are located in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada.
The museum was founded by Melvin Simpson and opened in 1975. It is intended to promote community pride in their heritage. The museum covers the achievements of black North Americans, starting with their original African culture, chronicling the years of slavery, and finishing with modern achievements.
The church was built by former U.S. slaves and free Blacks. It was restored and reopened in 2001; it has been designated a National Historic Site by the Canadian federal government.
