A must see for all.

By O., 2/6/07

I liked everything about the Museum. It gives a thourough background of the history of slave trade and its influence on the culture of Puerto Rico. Many of us are not aware of the numerous contributions and influences the Africans have had on the Americas and the islands of the Carribean. The museum does very well at recounting events of Afro-Latin history. A must see if you happen to be visiting Old San Juan.
