So painful. So important.

[@emmanymatthew2539]

How I wished this had been opened when I lived in South Carolina. Not to worry, SC here I come for 2-4weeks vacation in August…

[@TheRaineWay]

I am from Southern California and don’t have rich historical museums like this. I would like to visit this museum.

[@a_ya_la]

Northern states have a lot of museums about history and African Americans and Dallas Texas as a nice African American museums

[@socal7280]

I know I was so disappointed in the museums when I lived in CA!

[@laman8914]

Mr. Craig has a perfect voice to present and tell stuff.

[@SheniceSays214]

He certainly does.

[@margaritacanincia1906]

Wow! A must see for all American citizens along with the Museum on the mall in Washington DC.

[@roslynhines7725]

WOW…..a must visit for me

[@nitamckeethen6986]

Powerful! Thank you!

[@Angela-pi6zc]

Thank you for the report!

[@slimtrain]

A huge amount of my family comes from Charleston SC. I have really rich family history there.

[@lissarodrigues8950]

African American should be recognized for the construction of America 🇺🇸 from the beginning and not ignore and mistreat them. Why don't unite and tell the truth about it. It's beautiful 😍 how things come to light that was done in secret. I'm an African from Cape island 🏝. I know my ancestors were sent to the island without their will but I stayed in Africa but for those decendents of slave here in America they deserve a recognition. ❤🎉😊. Thank you for working hard to help build this country 🙏 💪 👏 🙌.

[@sistahb5159]

You CANNOT discuss the enslavement and forced and stolen labor of Black people in the US 🇺🇲 who created the wealth of US 🇺🇲 without connecting it to the ongoing systemic discrimination, oppression, violence, killings, theft and LINEAGE WEALTH GAP perpetrated on American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) that continues till this day. REPARATIONS FOR ADOS IS A MUST!!!

[@fardoshnassor7847]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@emmarhondawilson7071]

The love and the will to live from our ancestors are the reasons why we as black people are here.

I am proudly bi- racial from Guyana, it’s so hard to find also information on the Caribbean South Americans slave trade

[@estellawest2791]

I would like to trace my family.

Sorry london uk

[@vienicestyles]

Give him his reparations.

[@MacaMim-yn4kp]

Mourning?

[@riaa8689]

Shelly looks like she has Native American ancestry.

[@kimallen7091]

I can’t remember is Ms. Dr. Shelley Murphy has native roots. Many of her colleagues do. I have followed Black Pro Gen for quite awhile.

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

She probably has a lot of European in her.

[@gmog7857]

This does not make any sense at all by just starting the history of the enslaved African Americans who were brought to this port. Where were they brought from? probably THE GOLD COAST(GHANA) WEST AFRICA. we need to know the originating PORT where they were shipped from to here. Please stop giving us half stories, we want to know where they were brought from in WEST AFRICA.........................

🤥

[@timtaylor9633]

U know? Elon Musk is a afro-american

[@riaa8689]

African American. Afro is a hair style. Smh

[@timtaylor9633]

Flattop with fender skirts is a hair style too

[@Samoni0608]

Yes. The ones who came to colonize Africa

[@dadao8564]

In your wet dreams..he s euro south african😊

[@Mzcheif92]

That’s interesting because I’ve met so many black African immigrants and they’ve never said they were African American, they identify by their nationality “Nigerian American, Somali American, Kenyan American etc.” So why would Elon Musk be any different?

[@beyondhuman3148]

🥱

[@DM-dm9pr]

That museum is totally CRT!!!! SHUT IT DOWN 😱😱😱😱

[@thezu9250]

I’ll give you $1 million if you can define what CRT is without looking it up.
