The Lest We Forget Slavery Museum offers a hands-on approach to understanding the brutal truth of America's existence as we know it today. Hundreds of genuine artifacts, memorabilia, posters, photos and documents chronicling every aspect of slavery: capture, passage, auction, escape, Emancipation and the enduring scars.
In this video series of 7 sequential clips, co-owner/curator Gwen Ragsdale takes Steve and Carolyn on an eye-opening tour of a fraction of the many unforgettable items in this powerful and often heartbreaking collection. As this video shows, the LWFSM is unlike any American history museum you will find in this City that birthed the nation.
