Recently, L and I had an opportunity to visit the America I Am: The African American Imprint
exhibit here in Atlanta. The exhibition covers the range of the African American experience from the slave trade to modern day. I must say, I love museums and any venue that gives me the opportunity to learn or discover new things. This trip fit the bill perfectly.
There were so many unique pieces including doors from the castle where Africans were held captive prior to their voyage, , Frederick Douglas' clothing , Malcolm X's qur'an and diary chronically his pilgrimage to Mecca and one of my personal favorites Prince's guitar used during the 2007 Super Bowl. Of course there was so much more but these are some of the items that stuck with me.
I was so happy to see the venue was packed with visitors. I plan to return with my sister for a visit during the week. Hopefully, I will be able to spend more time absorbing the entire experience. Definitely check out the exhibit if you get an opportunity. You won't regret it.
