The 1947 Greyhound bus parked at a Cleveland terminal is being converted into a museum to commemorate the Great Migration, a crucial period in African American history. The terminal, designed by William Strudwick Arrasmith in 1948, is set to close, prompting plans for potential public use. Historian Robert Louis Brandon Edwards purchased the bus to serve as a vehicle for exhibitions and virtual reality experiences that illustrate the struggles of African Americans seeking freedom in the North. The project includes collecting artefacts and conducting interviews regarding the Great Migration journeys.
The presence of the silvery-blue bus stirs various emotions as it transforms into a museum dedicated to the Great Migration, with exhibitions detailing the journeys of African Americans.
Edwards is gutting the interior of the 1947 Greyhound bus to create a museum that captures the essence of the Great Migration, incorporating artefacts and virtual-reality experiences.
