Known forgreat blacks in waxafrican american historywax museumbroadway east
The first wax museum of African American history in the country, with more than 100 lifelike figures spanning ancient Africa, slavery, the civil rights era and modern icons. It's powerful and unflinching, including a sobering slave-ship exhibit that isn't for young kids. The East North Avenue location and dated presentation put some visitors off, but locals value it as an authentic, mission-driven institution worth supporting.
