United States: National Slavery Museum

 

Updated: 13/10/2006

Interesting idea........

The United States National Slavery Museum is committed to telling a more complete story of American slavery. Its honesty will lead the nation in commemorating, understanding, and overcoming slavery and its enduring legacy.

For several years, the museum's educational outreach programs have been working toward this goal with pilot school groups and community organizations across the nation. We are proud to announce the 2006 groundbreaking for the permanent museum that will carry this story to all Americans.

Spectacular architecture will establish a permanent monument. Innovative permanent galleries will create penetrating insights and experiences. Changing exhibitions will reveal the need for ongoing vigilance against slavery. Inspirational programs will deliver the tools to transcend the limitations of America’s past and forge a better future for generations to come.

I contributed (And I'm Irish): so should you.
