As one of the most unique Chicago museums downtown, the American Writers Museum's mission is to celebrate the enduring influence of American writers on our history, identity, culture, and daily lives.

Join us for a guided tour of the museum, including their new exhibit and education initiative Dark Testament, which explores racial injustice in America through the work of Black American writers from the end of the Civil War through the Civil Rights Movement.

After our tour, we'll have lunch at Manny's!

Museum entry and round trip bus service from the temple is included in the cost of the program. Lunch will be paid separately, directly to the restaurant.
