MILWAUKEE — America’s Black Holocaust Museum anchors Milwaukee’s Brownsville neighborhood.
The museum was first started by Dr. James Cameron.
There were several iterations of the museum, from the basement of Cameron's home to multiple storefronts.
Each time he opened a different space, Dr. Cameron opened on Juneteenth.
Dr. James Cameron spent his life documenting the plight of African Americans' perseverance, and excellence.
His first accounts were written from his own terrifying narrow escape from a lynching at 16 years old while growing up in Indiana.
Dr. Cameron's son Virgil Cameron reflects on his father's story of freedom and forgiveness.
"He would say that he forgave the people that did this, but never forget. Forgive but never forget," said Virgil Cameron.
