Very historic
This place hurt my heart and inspired me at the same time. Such an important part of history. It's very unfortunate that the area is not maintained at the highest level. But I appreciate the effort to keep dream alive and well. We need to invest more to make it a reality

Wow
This museum is an interactive experience in which the museum visitor is being taken as a slave from Africa to Alabama on board a small vessel. During the approximately one hour ordeal, the slave/visitor is separated from his/her friends and family, degraded, humiliated, and taunted. It's a powerful, eye-opening hour. It ends with a candid discussion of each other's thoughts, biases, and fears.

great experience
i used to do volunteer work at this museum it has really great exhibits i was very impressed with the walk though the most important part of the tour was when we formed a line and did the slave walk as well as the boat ride
