Reviewed By Foodange June 2022A very weirdly curated museum, where we didn’t actually learn very much. Of course they had something about Martin Luther King Jr but nothing on Chuck Berry, who was a very influential black guy...
Full ReviewA small museum with a big story
Reviewed By Kathleen W July 2022This museum covers so much Black history form the Midle Bassage to Martin Luther King. It is a must-see for any history lover.
