The specimens on display are about personalities whose sacrifices have helped shape African history, both within the continent and the diaspora.

They capture events within the slave dungeons in Africa, the toils of the Africans on the slave plantations and highlights of the Civil Rights Movement culminating in the election of the first African American as President of the United States of America.
