I went back in high school when I was on a HBCU tour. I enjoyed it and I've always wanted to go back.

I am from Baltimore...been there too many times!
It's alright.
I worked at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture. www.africanamericanculture.org.
Make a day out of both in my great city!

Both are a definite must. My former chapter (Baltimore County Alumnae Chapter) funded a figure of Soror Vashti Turley Murphy for the GBIW museum. There is also, if I recall correctly, a display about AKA as well.
The RHL Museum is powerful in the tradition of the Franklin Institute. Using video, live guests and displays, it presents a haunting picture of Black life in MD, esp during and after slavery.

There is a wax figure of a Zeta founder, too.

I've been. We took a group of our Delta Academy & Delta GEMS back in 2006. It was very interesting and I recommend you go.
