Ms. Vonita W. Foster and Honorable L. Douglas Wilder The US National Slavery Museum 1320 Central Park Boulevard, Suite 251 Fredericksburg, VA 22401 Dear Ms. Foster and Honorable L. Douglas Wilder, On behalf of our literature circle groups we would like to submit a physical museum exhibit for the United States National Slavery Museum. This exhibit would help its viewers to learn more about slavery in the colonial time and how slaves contributed during the Revolutionary War. This exhibit plan will be fun, interactive, and appealing to people of all ages and help their understanding. The exhibit setting would take place in the colonial times in New York and would show the average town including many slave houses, stores, churches, a courthouses and war prisons. It would also show how the slaves interacted throughout the town, such as when they went to fetch water or do chores for their masters. This exhibit would also show how the British often invaded the American land. Viewers could become interactive in this exhibit by playing fun activities and testing their knowledge in fun quizzes. Overall, creating an exhibit that could possibly be submitted in your museum was a great opportunity. We think by helping others comprehend to such big topics such as slavery and its origin is a wonderful opportunity. This exhibit would truly make the United States National Slavery Museum even more exciting and memorable experience. Sincerely, Janel, Austin, and Tommy
