Holy City Sinner: International African American Museum to Open in January 2023
After over 20 years of planning, the International African American Museum (IAAM) this week announced it will open the weekend of January 21st, 2023. Built upon the former site of Gadsden’s Wharf – one of the nation’s most prolific slave trading ports – the museum aims to create “an opportunity for visitors to engage with authentic and lesser-known history through transformative storytelling, compelling artifacts and exhibitions, and its unique ‘power of place.’” The mission of the museum is to honor the untold story of the African American journey at one of America’s most sacred sites.
