    This exhibit includes information on slaves that has been conspicuously absent in American history textbooks and supplemental resource materials. Yet, 139 years after slavery ended, it continues to occupy center stage in much of this nation’s racial dialogue. The exhibit also includes copies of original slave documents that are a part of the growing collection of the U.S. National Slavery Museum. This exhibit is comprised of Positive Contributions of Slaves in America, Typical Historical Slave/Black Stereotypes and Slaves Defined as Property (Chattel). Helpful Information: This exhibit opens July 5 from 12:00pm–2:00pm.
