Our Museum would contain many hand on exhibits. We would build a room that you could go into that would replicate the Under Ground railroad, or have a big crate that you can climb in and feel exactly like Henry "Box" Brown did. Although we want our museum to be hands on and fun, we would have it educational too. Outside, and possibly inside the exhibits we would have information, from writings, to pictures, to videos, or even real voice recordings. We would have an interactive game that would simulate a run away slave, and have you make the decisions for him. We would make our museum hands on, because I feel that children and adults learn a lot better when they are wanting to learn, and having fun while doing it. I also feel that having people feel like they are one of the slaves that is trying to escape would help them know what it was really like, and let them feel what it felt like to risk your life, to give yourself freedom. This ties to our topic "Courage, Strength, And Resilience" because it takes all of those traits to be able to even try to escape a plantation, or any other form of slavery. Our museum would teach the broad topic of slavery, but also mostly focus on Courage, Strength, and Reslilience.
