The also learn the rich history and culture of Africa and their significance.
Two students that went on this trip have said, “[The museum] gave me new information and examples on slavery in a historical setting as well as being able to see the outstanding errors of slavery in today’s world. The multi-media in the exhibition allowed me to understand on a deeper level. Videos style interviews sharing first-hand experiences and contemporary art depicting slavery in a variety of ways allowed me to comprehend the ongoing struggle.”
“I enjoyed the fact that I had time with my course mate, I took a lot of memorable pictures especially because don’t know when such trip would take place again. I met a couple of new friends aside my inner circle of course mate I meet everyday.”
