COMMENTS:
LTAries88: I was there when I was about 11 years old. I went inside the slave ship and it was the most horrifying yet necessary for me to appreciate what my people have come from but let me make it clear, black people come from a deep rooted history of royalty NOT slavery.
Linda Casey: Bravo .. I wanted to do the same thing in Virginia in 1983 with a black girlfriend of mine after having visited the Ships Museum in Richmond and didn't see any slaves ships. The President of Liberia had visited a Statue of President Monroe and was moved to tears when he said that Alex Haley had to go to Africa to discover his roots, but the president had to come to America to find his. I'm so proud of how your museum has florished over the years. I wish you just the very best life has to offer you. Amen .. I'm so proud of you

Oyin26: blacks and wax museum is good, but i remember one time i visited there when I was bout 6 or 7 and they had a display up of the middle passage and this Black woman was strung up naked, with welts from being whipped. I read the placard and it said that she was whipped and then had lemon juice rubbed into her welts, it gave me nightmares to see that at such a young age. I think i was a little traumatized by that.
Charles Curmudgeon: Excellent video. Fantastic start! A great foundation upon which so much more can be constructed. The spirit is exactly right, including where we need to progress.
