It has been more than 10 years since we began publicly showing our private collection of slavery artifacts and Jim Crow memorabilia. During those years we have taken our traveling slavery museum all over the country and the Caribbean. You may have seen our traveling exhibit but now you have an opportunity to see our entire collection.  We are proud to announce the opening of “Lest We Forget” Black Holocaust Museum of Slavery 3650 Richmond St. Philadelphia, PA 19134 (95N & Allegheny Ave). We invite you to come and see our compelling collection of authentic slave shackles, original slave documents, descriptive text panels, African art our award winning “Lest We Forget” documentary and other related items.

Our private collection tells the true story of how coming to America for enslaved Africans was very different from other immigrating groups who willingly came to America. Our “Room of Sorrow”  is a must see, it contains disturbing lynching photographs of Black men killed by the KKK and others during and following slavery and hundreds of obituaries of young Black men killed in our communities today as a result of Black-On-Black crime.  The comparisons are gripping!  For more information and photos go to our website:

Since opening, visitors have given us rave reviews for our ability to relate past history with the reality of today’s experiences. Many have said their visit was a “Life Altering Experience”.  We know how much our unique museum is needed and we are committed to telling our rich African history, the trials and tribulations of our slave ancestors and the importance of the Underground Railroad that contributed to freeing hundreds of enslaved African American people. In particular, we want to make sure that young African Americans are knowledgeable of their history so they can incorporate that awareness into their decision-making abilities. Our greatest commitment is to shed a positive light on a dark and tragic period in American history and educate people of all ethnicities about the enduring spirit of African American people and the contributions we made in the building of America.

To better appreciate our future we must reach back to embrace our slave ancestry and acknowledge “from whence we came” so we can move forward proudly and more effectively, “Lest We Forget”.
