Black Hot Fire Network: CHARLESTON’S NEW INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM TURNS SITE OF TRAUMA INTO SITE OF TRIUMPH
The power of resilience can be felt throughout the new International African-American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina.
The $120 million project, which opened its doors this summer, is no ordinary tourist attraction. The museum is built on scarred and sacred ground: Gadsden’s Wharf, the arrival point for nearly half of all enslaved Africans shipped to the U.S.
