“Since it moved into its cavernous new home, the story at [Detroit’s] Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History has been one of managerial blunders, lax oversight and financial calamity,” according to a newspaper investigation. The museum was pushed and cajoled into existence in the late 1990s with little in the way of realistic planning or appropriate funding, and the city has pumped $13 million into the institution since then. Now, with the museum unable to balance its books and in danger of not making each new payroll, a lack of business sense and basic accountability is being blamed for the mess.
