Open March 18 through October 29

Discover how the 19th-century Black community — connected through church, business, family, military, education and politics — fought for full citizenship and helped shift President Lincoln’s attitudes (and actions) regarding freedom. With priceless artifacts and a trove of historic documents (like the Emancipation Proclamation), you’ll experience another side of the story that led to the 13^th, 14^th and 15^th Amendments.
