The Historic Hampton House preserves the legacy of cultural and civil rights empowerment. The Historic Hampton House is the only Green Book museum in the world dedicated to sharing this unique experience of the segregated era. The restoration and vision are clear and intentional. Our mission is to improve perspectives in race, gender, socio-economic and religious discrimination in America and throughout the world.
The Historic Hampton House, located in Miami, is an iconic landmark with deep historical significance. Originally opened in 1962, this once-thriving hotel became a prominent gathering place for African American entertainers, athletes, and civil rights leaders during the segregation era. The Hampton House was home to countless legendary figures, including Muhammad Ali, James Brown, and Sam Cooke, who performed and stayed there. Its rich history as a cultural hub in the 1960s offers a unique glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of the civil rights movement.
Today, the Hampton House has been meticulously restored and transformed into a museum and cultural center. It stands as a beacon of resilience and a tribute to the individuals and events that shaped the fight for racial equality in America. The museum showcases historical exhibits, artifacts, and educational programs that honor the legacy of those who made a profound impact on the local and national civil rights movement.
