My visit to the Black Wax Museum was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my child life. Located on North Avenue in Baltimore City, Maryland,the building looks far from inviting as condemned housing units neighbor this historical landmark. The inside however, is rather inviting and is an essential experience for anyone seeking to truly understand the plight that African Americans went through during that time period. The museum is occupied by a plethora of wax statues depicting different scenes starting with the early Slave Trade and extending to such times as the Civil Rights Movement The experience of actually seeing these events retold in this realistic manner transcends any writing you may have previously read and is guaranteed to bring you into a direct relationship to the pain and anguish of the time.
