Description:
|
UNIVERSITY. The education begins as you push open the doors to this museum – they are made of African wood that is over 100 years old. Some exhibits, such as a Bushman's hut and a model Ethiopian church, explore African history, but the museum's most unique items capture the African American experience around Chattanooga. Unlike many areas of the south, Chattanooga had very few plantations. Consequently, many local Blacks were successful business owners and professionals. Multi-media presentations, sculpture, paintings, musical recordings, and a collection of old periodicals tell the story using a variety of methods. |
