Event Details
About the Legacy Museum
The Legacy Museum offers a powerful, immersive journey through America’s history of racial injustice.
On the site of a cotton warehouse where enslaved Black people were forced to labor in bondage, the Legacy Museum tells the story of slavery in America and its legacy through interactive media, first-person narratives, world-class art, and data-rich exhibits.
Travel through a comprehensive history of the destructive violence that shaped our nation, from the slave trade, to the era of Jim Crow and racial terror lynchings, to our current mass incarceration crisis — and find inspiration in our soaring Reflection Space and world-class art gallery.
