Handy, Biggie Smalls, Black Panthers, Dr, Benjaman Lawson Hooks, Booker T. Washington, Geroge Washington Carver, Lena Horne, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Marcus Moriah Garvey, Sammy Davis Jr, Nelson Mandela, Ruby Wilson, James Earl Ray, Honorable Thurgood Marshall, Julian Bonds, and more prominent individuals. A must-see museum...
