The America's Black Holocaust Museum is dedicated to teaching the public about slavery in America and its ongoing legacy as well as promoting racial reconciliation and healing. It was founded in 1984 by African American historian James Cameron (d. 2006), who, notably, was the only person known to have survived a lynching, which occurred in 1930. The museum was located in a building just north of downtown Milwaukee form 1988-2008. A new physical location will open in 2018 on the same spot as the former museum building, which has been torn down. Since 2012, the museum has operated online as a virtual museum, featuring numerous exhibits and over 3,000 web pages of historical information to view. Each year, 3.5 million people from 200 countries visit the website. Additionally, from time to time, the museum has set up temporary physical exhibits at various locations in the city.

Established in 1994, the African American Museum of Iowa gives a look inside the enriched history of African Americans in the state of Iowa. African Americans have been settling in the state before it actually became apart of the United States. Their history in Iowa revolves around mainly their time as slaves to helping the state grow as farmers and protecting it by enlisting in the military. The African American Museum of Iowa is a museum that's dedicated to being the number one source of African American history, heritage, culture, and their contribution to the history of Iowa. It displays chapters in 8 communities across the entire state of Iowa. In 2008, the museum was devastated by a flood and the first floor was completely flooded with over 5 feet of water and caused over $1 million worth of damage.

Constructed in 1884, the Amos B. Coe House is a historic home in the Stevens Square neighborhood of Minneapolis. It is one of the few examples remaining in the city of Queen Anne architecture. A carriage house was built in 1886. Most recently, it was to the be home of the Minnesota African American Museum and Cultural Center, which was founded in 2008 by Roxanne Givens. However, financial difficulties and other issues (the contractors were never paid and sued the museum) prevented renovations from being completed and unfortunately the museum apparently never opened to the public. As of early 2017, plans are in the works to convert the building into apartments. The Coe House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

The Casiville Bullard House was built by an African American stonemason and bricklayer, Casiville Bullard, for himself in 1910. The Four Square home is listed on The National Register of Historic Places. Bullard was the son of Tennessee slaves who were cotton pickers and had migrated to the area in the late 1800s. The Casiville Bullard House is a very rare example of a home built by an African American slave laborer in Minnesota in the early twentieth century. Bullard had only received a third-grade education because he was forced to work to support his family at a young age, but he learned stonemasonry and bricklaying from his brother in law. Soon after Bullard purchased the land, he and his family lived in a tent during the construction of the house. After he completed his long work day, he would work on the house at night often under the light from a lantern held by his wife. The house still stands as a tribute to Bullard and his family and is a piece of African American history in the area.

This historic church was constructed in 1900 for a congregation that dates back to 1890, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 owing to its connection to Duluth's African American community and national leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, who spoke here in 1921. DuBois's visit to Duluth came in the wake of racial violence as a white mob lynched three African Americans the year prior. Under the leadership of pastor Reverand William M. Majors, the congregation organized in support of a national anti-lynching law.

This historical marker outside of Lovilia shares the history of Buxton, an African American coal mining town in Iowa. Buxton was built and named by Consolidation Coal Company in 1895 as a company town. Coal mining operations and the community of Buxton lasted for the next three decades. While many coal towns were diverse, Buxton was unique because nearly all of the residents were African American but the town also included many European immigrant miners and their families. The city was named after Ben Buxton, the president of Consolidation Coal Company who sent agents to recruit Black laborers from southern states for his coal mines. Buxton's motivation was similar to other coal operators who recruited immigrant and Black laborers in Iowa as a response to strikes by white laborers. Many of the residents of Buxton moved to the area from coal mining regions such as West Virginia and Virginia. The community became famous for its large number of African American physicians and other professionals as well as its outstanding barnstorming baseball team, the Buxton Wonders.
