BALTIMORE â Joanne Martin starts at the beginning.
âI had a young man from somewhere in Africa and he said that all his life, they had talked about those who were lost, about the people who had been stolen,â said Martin.
From the outside, the National Great Blacks in Wax museum looks unassuming, just a building in Baltimore. But your first steps inside take you to the depths of the slave ships that took these stolen ones from the African coast to the shores of some British colonies in the west.
