A 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...

This museum covers so much Black history form the Midle Bassage to Martin Luther King. It is a must-see for any history lover.
