educate others of the many great contributions that black people
have made to mankind. The collection takes you on a journey through
the use of these artifacts through the African American experience.”
Artifacts from the collection range from the many great
civilizations in Africa, through the Mid-Atlantic Slave Trade,
slavery, the Civil War, reconstruction, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights /
Black Power movement, through the modern day. The museum celebrates
