Founded by Carolyn Moore, this is a private collection of slavery-era artifacts, documents, and objects assembled over decades. It is the most comprehensive collection of its kind in Philadelphia. Moore has dedicated her life to ensuring that the material reality of slavery, the collars, the chains, the documents, the objects, is not abstracted into history but remains physically present and visible.
