The African-American Cultural & Genealogical Society Museum Of Illinois offers a unique opportunity for people of all ages to learn more about the life of Rev. Doctor King Jr. and African American History. Evelyn Hood, founder and C.E.O., said she's encouraged by seeing students and adults interested in learning the history.
