Black History Wax Museum: Remembering Black Wall Street - Wall Street Juniors

A Pop-up Museum that offers knowledge, experience, culture, and resources to educate and engage the community with impactful stories. Each year Wall Street Juniors youth, volunteers, partners, and families come together to learn about notable African Americans in our history. Surprisingly, many families don't know much about the success, wealth, and culture that took place during the early 1900s in the streets of Durham. Research shows that improved cultural awareness can add value to personal development. By using an ethnographic perspective, the Black History Wax Museum creates an equitable learning environment with the intention to increase the number of individuals exposed to the grass-root culture of African Americans in Durham, and the influence of economics, history, and community well-being. This cultural experience is open to the general public and for the entire family!
