Restaurant Preview: The Mercantile
Know something we don't?
The Museum in Black owes its existence to the efforts, determination, and collector's savvy of Brian Breye. He opened the museum more than 20 years ago, exhibiting such fascinating yet disturbing pieces as slave documents and property appraisals from as early as the 1700s. The papers document the transportation of slaves from their capture in the African bush to the ships that brought them across the seas to the United States.
But the collection doesn't stop there. In fact, the 3,000-square-foot building is crammed wall-to-wall with artifacts, from African masks, statues and body adornments to personal memorabilia.
