CHARLESTON, S.C. โย The International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina, features nine galleries exploring the African diaspora, the transatlantic slave trade, and the enduring contributions of African Americans. Highlights include interactive exhibits, historical artifacts, and the Center for Family History, which offers genealogical resources.
The museum building opened in June 2023 on the historic site of Gadsdenโs Wharf, where nearly 40% of enslaved Africans are believed to have entered the United States, and is elevated above ground to honor the sacred site. It is surrounded by the African Ancestors Memorial Garden, a reflective outdoor space that includes a tidal tribute memorial.
