WASHINGTON — The "In Slavery's Wake" exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture explores the enduring legacies of slavery and its impact on African American life from the Civil War to the present. Through powerful artifacts, historical narratives, and personal stories, the exhibit examines how formerly enslaved individuals navigated freedom, faced systemic challenges, and shaped the cultural, political, and social landscape of the United States. Visitors are invited to reflect on the complex journey toward equality and justice while gaining a deeper understanding of the resilience and contributions of Black Americans in the wake of emancipation.
