Africa: The Untold Stories

Ongoing Exhibit

Closed Wed

Venue:
APEX Museum
135 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
Event Description:

At the APEX Museum, we start our history long before slavery, countering the typical narrative found in American textbooks. African history is rich, spanning millennia before the transatlantic slave trade. Initially, people were taken for their skills in agriculture, mining, science, and engineering, not solely because of their skin color. Racism became more prominent around the 11th century, with European explorers influenced by the Catholic Church's doctrine that non-Europeans were less than human, justifying colonization and slavery.
