I first visited this awesome museum in 2017. And I will visit again in 2024. There is so much to see, learn, process and feel. I feel such love and gratitude for our people and all we’ve overcome. We are magnificent human beings. I am a member of this museum. I want it to exist forever. Love, peace & blessings to everyone who visits or supports this museum. 💞

Got emotional watching this journey of the museum, people and the ones in the past that endured a life worst than cattle. There were white monsters that didn’t feel an ounce of humanity! I also appreciate that there were some humane white men that made the dream of white people come through. For the abolishing of slavery and discrimination and also for making this museum happen.

Thanks Jeff and the MD police. Black operatives. My private tour was a grand gesture.

"Some said it could not be done. But, we did it." Congressman John Lewis. Excellent film. Kudos to Carol Jenkins and talented team at CUNY TV!

I would like bridges of information between Native American, African American and Hispanic American museums sharing historical documents of British,French,Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese domination.

Every white politician needs to visit this and then find a way to put this in a curriculum in schools in the South!! Closed minds & hearts need an awakening!!! This may not be popular but it could wake up young folk blinded by hate taught in their homes~ 🙏🏾🙌🏾
