“Lest We
Forget” is also a traveling museum exhibit of authentic
slavery items. The presentation includes all aspects of
slavery including the Middle Passage, Slave Auctions,
Underground Railroad, Lynchings and the Jim Crow Era (period
following Reconstruction).
We bring our collection to schools,
churches, family reunions, conferences, conventions, social,
community groups, etc. It is a compelling collection and an
excellent teaching tool about a tragic period in American history.
The program is presented in a thoughtful and sensitive manner
suitable for all age groups.

BRING HISTORY ALIVE WITH
A PRESENTATION OF“LEST WE FORGET”
Dear Lest We
Forget Friends,
It has been
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. The recent openings of our (2) museum locations,
3650 Richmond St. Philadelphia, PA 19134 and 327 White Horse Pike,
Lawnside, NJ 08045 was monumental and a long-time coming.
Since opening, we have received numerous accolades from our
visitors, which make us realize how much our museum is needed and
appreciated. We are committed to telling our rich African history
and the trials and tribulations of our slave ancestors to bring
recognition to the price that was paid for the freedoms we take for
granted today. Our greatest commitment is to teaching young people
of all ethnicities about the enduring spirit of African American
people and the contributions they made in the building of America.
We particularly want to make sure that young African Americans are
knowledgeable of their history so that they can incorporate that
awareness into their decision-making abilities.
While we have applied for grants we primarily
support our operation out-of-pocket. To maintain our museums,
sustain our collection, and present our traveling exhibits we need
funds. Many of you have asked how you can support our efforts and
your consideration is greatly appreciated. As a result, we are now
accepting donations on our website
www.lestweforgetmuseumofslavery.com.
Donations
can also be mailed to
Thank you in advance for your
consideration and support. You can also support us by visiting our
museums or schedule a traveling slavery program. Our hours are Wed.–Sun.
10:00am–6:00pm By Appointment Only! Call (888) 886-LEST or (5378).
Thank You,
J. Justin &
