The USA's first slavery museum is open.

Blake Fox, a museum of African American culture is not the same as a slavery museum. While one might touch upon slavery to showcase how we got to now, the other is about slavery and nothing else.

Slavery is a culture of power. Every people on this planet at one point or another practiced slavery.

For the record, as far as this post is concerned, we're talking about slavery in the New World.

I would like to know if the museum also talks about how Africans were capturing other Africans to sell into slavery?
