I had a chance to go to the ‘Lest We Forget Museum’ today and I was in awe at the history of the so called “African Americans” and the inhumane treatment we endured during our enslavement and our horrible journey to American from various countries in African. Mrs. Ragsdale the founder’ wife, welcome our group with kindness and gave us a tour along with a wealth of knowledge. Some things we had knowledge but to see actual artifacts brought our experience to another level.I highly recommend that all African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans come to this museum. As the owner has said “When you know better, you do better”
So glad I stopped by! Extremely informational on true black history that the board of education doesnt teach. Amazing museum*
Small, but packed full of incredible amounts of knowledge! Curators are welcoming and friendly.
Kids and I were blown away by our visit. Small, intimate experience with personal tour by exec owner. This is Philadelphia's only slavery museum and perfect place to see artifacts and documentation highlighting so many facets of the Black experience leading from Africa to present day America. Tour drives home the message that 200+ years of legal slave trade, followed by decades of US slave breeding and nearly a century of Jim Crow, created myriad problems that we are clearly still needing to work together as US country and within Black communities to address. Museum exposes many horrors but also highlights the strength and innovative spirit of the Black community. Everyone should visit this museum, and probably more than once!! My kids and I cherished every minute of the 90 min tour.
This was such a powerful experience told with so much detail of history and it's relationship to the present. Slavery is so deeply embedded in American culture, and this is such an important reminder of the work we need to continue.
