I had a great educational experience at this museum. I really like that one of the first exhibits is one that provides information on a variety of ways people become victims of slavery and the different types of slavery (labor and human trafficking). The museum then goes into slavery in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and mostly America. I really enjoyed reading the detailed information on the various individuals that took action and advocated for the end of slavery. Overall, the experience was educational and enjoyable!
