Genius and Ingenuity
Exhibits
The United States National Slavery Museum will offer 100,000 feet of permanent and temporary exhibit space. Exhibits will take visitors on a journey through time, beginning with Africa as the cradle of civilization through the Middle Passage on slave ships, to the slave resistance movement, the Civil War and the continuing struggle for equality today.
Library
The library and archives at the United States National Slavery Museum will serve all those seeking information pertaining to slavery in America like no other facility. Through a vast and ever-growing collection of materials in all formats - oral histories, maps, rare editions, film and video - it will tell the individual and collective story of a people and their pursuit of freedom.
