Blacks in Wax

 

Our children got a special treat last Saturday, getting to tour the 2017 Annual Blacks in Wax Live Museum. The Museum, presented annually by the African American Cultural Center, in collaboration with AYA Ambassadors, allows moments from African American history to come to life. The kids loved seeing and hearing the stories of figures like Malcom X, Emmitt Till, Rosa Parks, and others. The proceeds from the event this year were given to support the work we are doing at StepUp Ministry.

After attending the live Museum the kids had the chance to get a glimpse of college life by wandering around NC State's beautiful campus and having lunch in Fountain Dining Hall. Overall a good day was had by all and we look forward to having more events in the near future.
