This exhibition is framed through a chronological time line. The museum is a multi-sensory, interdisciplinary approach that uses authentic artifacts (primary resources), storyboards, and the ancient art of storytelling. The museum is framed through four segments: Mother Africa, U.S. Chattel Slavery, the Jim Crow Era, and Still, We Rise (focusing on African American inventors and inventions). Mr. Richardson believes that the connection with the past can guide ones’ present and future.
