Description:
The first thing you hear when you enter is the sound of moaning, coming from the Slave Ship exhibit. This wax museum doesn't shy away from the tough topics -- a lynching exhibit is in the basement -- but it revels in the African Americans, and all people of color, who made a difference. Some are expected: Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, and famous athletes, artists, and entertainers. Some may be people you weren't aware of: rodeo star Bill Pickett, Matthew Henson at the North Pole, and African Americans who made advances in medicine, science, law, and politics.
