This is a must do experience! it's interactive, you can sing along with Bobby Jones Choir, create your own beats, sing with the Fugees and more. It was definitely time well spend on a cold winters day (we went in February and it was freezing). This exhibit does an excellent job exploring the history of African influences on this country and the world. Truly enjoyed the experience.

The beginning introduction with the short film on “Roots” was so well done. It captivated the attention of the young and the not so young. Then having the experience continue with the hands on stations throughout the museum, helped in keeping the younger children focused on what the museum was all about. I was able to enjoy 2 1/2 hours in this beautiful museum with my grandchildren while knowing that they were also learning a valuable part of our country’s history.
