Definitely the first time I've been moved in a wax museum. Even though some of the exhibits were quite primitive, the message behind them comes through loud and clear. Such an awesome experience. Glad we got to see it together.
i agree even after showing the sign that clearly said not advised for under 12s to see (due to the nature) as soon as he walked downstairs ya could hear a kid as young as 7 go Omg momm y look whats that whats happening ? like I know its part of history but if ya were a parent and had that warning dont take kids down there :( sad enough for adults and pretty graphic
@@rachaelk7866 no one under 12 without parents or guidance. I feel they need to taught about that as a black kid. I was taught about black history at a young age.
I am glad that the museum creators didn’t skip the gory or downplay the horrific things that have happened to black people in the past. They deserve to be presented in all their detail so that younger generations can be educated and not repeat the same awful things. I remember being so ashamed to be white at school when we learnt about slavery. I also remember being massively proud to have a best friend who was black. We still need to learn to judge people by their actions, not by the colour of their skin or their sexuality.
high five (no im not being sarcastic) now imagine being one of the few black kids in history class when the white teacher is talking about slavery. all eyes on u its horrible either way and we as a whole planet need to work together for a better future
weirdsideofgirls XD We are born with racial preference, this means that when tribes factor up into dominance over each other the history gets spat back at Joe Bloggs as if everyone in the Tribe ordered the War, humans are pack Animals and end up with Stockholm syndrome toward those that dominate them, and no amount of so called "progressive" virtue signalling changes the dynamic of human instincts, which is why history always repeats itself.
But do we really need to follow the system of being judge because of our skin just because our parent told us they are bad people its dosen't mean they are bad i had enough with people being judge for how they look and talk its racist and as an human there is not boundary to seperate people from each other the poor and the rich
Jedi Master Joe Well I think its a 50/50 thing. Just think like this, where there is evil there will always be good Where this is good there will always be evil. This is just universal law in my opinion.
Jedi Master Joe well i think it was a lot more than just an apple i think the apple was symbolism for the knowledge that Adam and Eve were tempted to know. And actually it says in the bible that even if Eve ate from the tree of knowledge it would have not mattered as much even though she would always be cursed, but when Adam ate it actually was the destruction of everything.
Jedi Master Joe true but why was it considered disobedience? Just eating from the tree and thats it? No. Thats why they knew of eachothers nakedness. Things that God were not going to show Adam and Eve until God was ready too.
When I was younger we went there every year for a school trip. It’s very educational I loved this as a child yes the graphic images are hard to look at, but everyone should know there history.
6:57-7:10 , to that man who said he was proud to have it in his neighborhood, the African community is happy we can educate you both more and thank you
I'm a middle-aged southern white male and I remember my history classes in public school and slavery was barely taught and certainly played down. There's always two sides to a history lesson, the victors and the victims. It mostly seems we only learn the victors' version of history. This museum is vital to learning the truth of our past. Thanks for sharing.
You are so right. This is what all these people against “CRT” are afraid of. They don’t want their children to know or understand this truth of America, or the complicity of those who have supported it and benefitted from it in a million different ways. ❤️🇺🇸
Denita Arnold it’s what people did to African Americans. I understand you aren’t trying to be disrespectful but it is to me, because we aren’t just people, we’re a race that was completely overthrown.
I hope that we never allow ourselves to erase history: the good and bad alike should be remembered so that we do not repeat the mistakes of those which came before us.
Sedan57Chevy There has been evil spirited people from the beginning of time - and will continue till the end. Just Look at all the evil that is happening today look how we treat each other
Some say we lost the Vietnam war, maybe we should quit displaying that wall with all those hero's names on it and all those statues of the men who gave their lives. Lots of Vietnamese live here Im sure it offends them knowing those men dropped bombs on their homeland and killed their friends and family. Or Maybe get rid of the 20 dollar bill because Andrew Jackson is on it , you know he is the one that instigated the trail of tears that caused my ancestors to leave their homes and walk to places unknown , die along the way . Even went against the Supreme Court ruling saying it was against their law to do that to the Natives of the Cherokee Choctaw Muscogee Seminole & Chickasaw. Yet Im sure you use your money every chance you get as well as everyone else with not a thought as to the pain and heartache this man caused many many people of a race! But I guess that doesnt matter It's Natives they never really did matter.

Watched this last night and it's haunting me today. I work at a country club where many families (old money) brag about tracing their families back to the colonies. I walk outside into the frozen air after serving WASPS all day, and on my way home I see so many homeless black people. It just gives me a sick feeling. How many humans were owned by those ancestors? And how many retain the same wealth made on the backs of other humans? It's sickening to think about. These are people who are still on top.

Well, you can blame them. Even in those times, many people voiced opinions about these horrors, wrote books, plays and new articles + tried to organise against them. The thing that stayed consistent with today's values is that people in general just went with the crowd, no matter who was saying it was incorrect behaviour.
Remember back then the adults were the offsprings and results of the British.....colonial america was British people that started their own country and ran wild with their OWN RULES
Have to admit, Black peoples museums in Maryland can be brutally honest about slavery. If you are in the area, be sure to visit the Slave Museum in Sandy Spring, Maryland. Slavery was not just some historical quirk, it was a vicious and "Peculiar Institution".
I have no words to express my heavy heart but Thank you & Thank you for also showing all the wonderful ppl there that are making our world a better place.

Jacob, I implore you to visit the Emmet Till memorial site in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi. There is a lot to be learned from material like this, Jabob, and you portrayed this place in a respectful manner.
I went to the Blacks In Wax museum on a class trip in December of 1997. our charter bus full of students from West Philadelphia High School travelled to Baltimore to tour the museum. It wasn't at all what I expected, it was more. I left there with a different impression of it than I had at the beginning. as a (then) 15 year old Black teenager from West Philadelphia, I was proud.
I thought this museum looked familiar and I realized my dad took me here when I was around 9 or 10 and it freaked me out especially the ship, I got real bad nightmares from it.
This is such an amazing museum. I'd love to see it get a restoration, because this is so very important to teach those who may not truly realize the weight of our history.
I noticed the kids of colour that were there And I realised how difficult it must be for parents to take their kids to a place like that Especially parents of black kids It's so important but so sad😔
Ah the self pity I wonder how Egyptians feel about the pyramids they were forced to make, the world was built on slavery yet only one race gets all the attention, slavery still exists in Africa too smh
@@theavastark6463 im very much aware of the slave trades around Africa being as I'm south african. They exist everywhere indonesia, China, Thailand, India, Spain and the list goes on, more than anything it's just sad. I'm not disagreeing with you but it doesn't mean we should disgard one of history's most impactful events, the African slave trade set course to years of history and even "created a new type of African" (African American) it even shifted how africa began to be run. The largest robbery in human history is actually the robbery of Africa itself. My point is the way forward is not to forget about slavery or in your words call it "self-pity" because maybe we wouldn't have to talk so much about it if society had changed.
@@theavastark6463 Egyptians did not build the pyramids, the same people that built up America are the decendents of the same people who served hard bondage in Egypt, which are the Children of Israel!
@@nicolefransch2118 i think at one point black people inslaved white people too in Europe, slavery is a thing every race did yet i see alot of white people hating their skin gen z doomed us all
It doesn’t matter who did this or where it happened the point is that it happened and yes it may be horrible but if we let it fade into the forgotten we will one day let it happen again.
Dan Bell you're so one of my favorites! Glad to see you two in one video. I'm a single Mom with lower level income, but I so want my daughter to see the world. So, I show her these and other museum tour videos. We can't afford to get there but we can see what's inside. I thank you for doing these!
@@diamondmuse6835 I totally agree! But we shouldn't compare slavery and nazis because they were both extremely horrible. They both had people struggling. Again, I agree! There should be a museum
the fact that my kind still get treated like nobody’s is sad, we’re tired of it, we just wanna get treated like everybody else, we’re literally emotionally tired💔
im late to this video, but i just wanted to say i’m so happy they not only focused on the slave aspect of black history, but when we were kings and queens and also how we’ve power-housed our way for “a seat at the table”. black history doesn’t start nor end with how we were belittled, degraded, and humiliated. thank you for showing this.
This is a fantastic museum. It’s not supposed to be “oh white people suck” it’s supposed to show the nightmares that black people went through so people can understand history more.
Wish I knew you were going to be here would’ve love to meet you! Baltimore Native, this museum still creeps me out but it’s my history! Thank you got this
Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity to learn so much more about our dark and horrible past in America by touring this museum. To some it may be very hard to understand the true hardships people had to endure or witness simply because of the color of their skin. Thank you for the lesson and history.
I remember I visited this museum when I was in the 3rd grade, in 36 years old now. But the memory is still etched in my brain and the tears. A wonderful painful experience.
ijs sewing cats into someone's stomach to claw their way out is way overkill . I pity ppl who live with hatred in their hearts. it has to be a miserable life hating ppl for no reason.
Hey Dan Thank you for posting this. I grew up in Baltimore but this place did not exist at the time. I live in Baltimore County now and I was surprised to learn that my daughter had gone here on a field trip in middle school. She has graduated from College but I asked her about this place and she is still effected by what she saw. Long story short they did a piece about this museum on This American Life and now my grown daughter and I plan to go together. I really appreciate that you took the time to go. This is ALL of our history as Americans and we must be brave enough to face it. Thanks Again!!! God Bless.
Seeing what these people did makes me so angry! I wish I could find who started all this “stealing and owning people” thing and pop them upside the head!
This is heartbreaking...to see how humans treated each other, how they did not see them as human. We all bleed the same blood we all breathe the same air. It’s sad and the fact that racism is going on today is even worse.
I actually went to that museum a few years back. It was instresting to walk threw and learn about black history and understand what my ancestors went threw.
Right at that very intersection(North ave. and Bond st.) we installed traffic signal poles and lights about 18yrs ago or so.A guy that was running this museum gave us a free tour.I was amazed and sad at the same time.This place is a great place to visit for education purposes and they don't sugar the truth.
I went to this museum when I was in the 4th grade and my grandma wouldn't let me continue the tour because of how graphic it was but it has always stuck with me. I plan to go back as soon as I can
Many things in that museum really gave me a visual picture of how messed up people treated African Americans,people should go here to know that info and concept to teach them we are all equal.
CB.... I just want to humbly thank you for all the great educational and adventurous vlogs. Some of them have me laughing in the aisles.(per say). Keep it up... I love the roadside attractions.
It sickens me to think this is how things were back then. Just because of their skin color, I don’t understand why. We are all made the same, our blood is the same, everything about us is the same, only our skin color and that doesn’t make it right to be racist towards someone. This video actually made me tear up, I can’t even imagine what all the people had to go through back then, the suffering, the pain. I thank God that things have changed no person should have to go through something like this no matter what.
Another great video Carpetbagger! I am glad there is a museum like this to showcase the horrors of what really happened during times of slavery. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it and I think that we need graphic reminders of slavery, the holocaust, etc. so that we don't ever sink this low again. Though I do fear that we will, after all we are humans and fallible. Can't believe the graphics in this museum like the penises and labia in the lynching section! And the rape of that woman, and the chained up branding, oh my...
Elizabeth Kline I agree with you but people are doomed to repeat history regardless. As long as it makes them feel better about themselves. Slavery all types only happened because of money and more production for more money and of course power. People never learn. I wish more people thought lets not ever do that again but if they could do it again they would in a heart beat.
@pnk s.... maybe those who would dare do it again or think about trying......just might get a taste of thier own evil nature!...... that would be the end of that evil.....😳
Thank you so much for this! It is hard to watch and look at, but it is much more educational than being taught through slideshows. This makes it much more real.
This is a sad but Important history of the terrible things Americans did to African and native Americans I am so sad to see there is still pretty strong racism in some others still around in the 21st century Thank you for this video
mslaerik66 it's just that most people forget that the Irish were the original slaves imported and most were NOT indentured. An ancestor of mine (Zion Murphy) was kidnapped from County Cork, Ireland, when he was a young child and sold as a slave. There was no indenture there. Later, he, like many others including Africans, were able to buy themselves back by working extra and essentially paying for their implied worth.
mslaerik66 there is an old saying in America, it was found typically written as a warning posted at pubs, inns, eateries, etc. "No blacks, dogs or Irish". The Irish were lower than even dogs back then.. Furthermore the term "luck of the Irish" comes from the English, it originated as a joke, something along the lines of the Irish are lucky to be alive or that the English hadn't killed them all yet. Don't even get me started on the term "Paddy", now that's a rabbit's hole.
From the moment you walked in there all I could do is cry, to think about my husbands ancestors being treated like this breaks my heart!!! I hate that racism is a real thing and how horrible human beings are to one another!
Definitely the first time I've been moved in a wax museum. Even though some of the exhibits were quite primitive, the message behind them comes through loud and clear. Such an awesome experience. Glad we got to see it together.

Ive heard it keeps getting destroyed, is that true?
Is it true his mother had an open casket so the "world can see what they did to my boy" so sad
@@girleyreds11-11 yes she said she wanted the world to see that racism is real. He was only 14 years old.
Don’t forget the civil rights museum in Greensboro nc
I went to the Blacks In Wax museum on a class trip in December of 1997. our charter bus full of students from West Philadelphia High School travelled to Baltimore to tour the museum. It wasn't at all what I expected, it was more. I left there with a different impression of it than I had at the beginning. as a (then) 15 year old Black teenager from West Philadelphia, I was proud.
I would love to take my child here one day.. How strong our ancestors are.. and how they would want us to change the way we live.
Those are the most realistic wax figures I've ever seen. Thank you for taking us there, Jacob.
I went to that museum twice as a kid. And the slave ship always creeped me out
I thought this museum looked familiar and I realized my dad took me here when I was around 9 or 10 and it freaked me out especially the ship, I got real bad nightmares from it.
This is such an amazing museum. I'd love to see it get a restoration, because this is so very important to teach those who may not truly realize the weight of our history.
Since I've been on quaritine watching u going to museums is my feild trip.
I noticed the kids of colour that were there
And I realised how difficult it must be for parents to take their kids to a place like that
Especially parents of black kids
It's so important but so sad😔
Ah the self pity I wonder how Egyptians feel about the pyramids they were forced to make, the world was built on slavery yet only one race gets all the attention, slavery still exists in Africa too smh
@@theavastark6463 im very much aware of the slave trades around Africa being as I'm south african. They exist everywhere indonesia, China, Thailand, India, Spain and the list goes on, more than anything it's just sad. I'm not disagreeing with you but it doesn't mean we should disgard one of history's most impactful events, the African slave trade set course to years of history and even "created a new type of African" (African American) it even shifted how africa began to be run. The largest robbery in human history is actually the robbery of Africa itself. My point is the way forward is not to forget about slavery or in your words call it "self-pity" because maybe we wouldn't have to talk so much about it if society had changed.
@@theavastark6463 Egyptians did not build the pyramids, the same people that built up America are the decendents of the same people who served hard bondage in Egypt, which are the Children of Israel!
@@fromjastoAHAVA ohhhh man i already said the slaves built the pyramids everyone knows that
@@nicolefransch2118 i think at one point black people inslaved white people too in Europe, slavery is a thing every race did yet i see alot of white people hating their skin gen z doomed us all
Sweet! Discoveries with Bagger & Bell.
Good to see you and Dan doing a vlog together. This museum is interesting, educational, and sad.
It doesn’t matter who did this or where it happened the point is that it happened and yes it may be horrible but if we let it fade into the forgotten we will one day let it happen again.
I kept thinking about Dan watching your videos and now you're both here, it's like magic.
Fiction is no match for the real cruelty man has all too often unleashed upon its own family, I'm afraid.
I sense a darkness over that place
Dan Bell you're so one of my favorites! Glad to see you two in one video. I'm a single Mom with lower level income, but I so want my daughter to see the world. So, I show her these and other museum tour videos. We can't afford to get there but we can see what's inside. I thank you for doing these!
Wow this video was disturbing, it's a painful reminder of American history.
We need a museum in Japanese ww2 history, They did some terrible shit.
Retard 69 ik there were soo much stuff the Japanese and nazis did THATS WORSE then how slavery was in America
@@diamondmuse6835 I totally agree! But we shouldn't compare slavery and nazis because they were both extremely horrible. They both had people struggling. Again, I agree! There should be a museum
@@diamondmuse6835 Nothing was worse than slavery slavery was for a long ass time
Thanks Jacob and Dan. That was painful but I'm glad you showed us anyway.
It's crazy how realistic those wax figures look
I went to this museum like in middle school and that basement is still scary . I think it was worse back then,we was freaking out
the fact that my kind still get treated like nobody’s is sad, we’re tired of it, we just wanna get treated like everybody else, we’re literally emotionally tired💔
Wow... This was an eye opener... I'm shocked.... I've heard stories but this brings it to life... WOW
im late to this video, but i just wanted to say i’m so happy they not only focused on the slave aspect of black history, but when we were kings and queens and also how we’ve power-housed our way for “a seat at the table”. black history doesn’t start nor end with how we were belittled, degraded, and humiliated. thank you for showing this.
This museum moved me in many ways thank you for showing us this
This is a fantastic museum. It’s not supposed to be “oh white people suck” it’s supposed to show the nightmares that black people went through so people can understand history more.
I learned more here than in history class
Absolutely stunning. How a group of people could treat another group of people
It’s important for people to see this museum. Even tho it’s heartbreaking it needs to be seen.
They put FUBU In there... I guess we fail to remember fubu was a big thing now it's in Wal-Mart's...
Wish I knew you were going to be here would’ve love to meet you! Baltimore Native, this museum still creeps me out but it’s my history! Thank you got this
Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity to learn so much more about our dark and horrible past in America by touring this museum. To some it may be very hard to understand the true hardships people had to endure or witness simply because of the color of their skin. Thank you for the lesson and history.
I remember I visited this museum when I was in the 3rd grade, in 36 years old now. But the memory is still etched in my brain and the tears. A wonderful painful experience.
I whent there when I was young...truly terrifying.
ijs sewing cats into someone's stomach to claw their way out is way overkill . I pity ppl who live with hatred in their hearts. it has to be a miserable life hating ppl for no reason.
Andrea Robinson
I wonder how the hell that’s even physically possible???? Just, ouch...
This is a museum that everyone needs to go to and truly comprehend and learn from.
So sad. I love how silent and respectful you were. Knowing how hard it hits. I pray someone can learn
Dan Bell has such an iconic voice though
This is what our people went through and still are going through
I really appreciate you going here thisnisnour history and I appreciate you taking the time to even gonsee it I'm now a subscriber
Hey Dan Thank you for posting this. I grew up in Baltimore but this place did not exist at the time. I live in Baltimore County now and I was surprised to learn that my daughter had gone here on a field trip in middle school. She has graduated from College but I asked her about this place and she is still effected by what she saw. Long story short they did a piece about this museum on This American Life and now my grown daughter and I plan to go together. I really appreciate that you took the time to go. This is ALL of our history as Americans and we must be brave enough to face it. Thanks Again!!! God Bless.
Seeing what these people did makes me so angry! I wish I could find who started all this “stealing and owning people” thing and pop them upside the head!
KaylaaCuttiee !! The Mesopotamian civilization (the first civilization btw)
This is heartbreaking...to see how humans treated each other, how they did not see them as human. We all bleed the same blood we all breathe the same air. It’s sad and the fact that racism is going on today is even worse.
I actually went to that museum a few years back. It was instresting to walk threw and learn about black history and understand what my ancestors went threw.
Right at that very intersection(North ave. and Bond st.) we installed traffic signal poles and lights about 18yrs ago or so.A guy that was running this museum gave us a free tour.I was amazed and sad at the same time.This place is a great place to visit for education purposes and they don't sugar the truth.
Thanks for sharing this !!
love the videos you make :) there always interesting and I really enjoy them
I went to this museum when I was in the 4th grade and my grandma wouldn't let me continue the tour because of how graphic it was but it has always stuck with me. I plan to go back as soon as I can
Thanks for sharing your visit. I can barely stomach the footage alone. Amazing artist.
Thank you for sharing.
Many things in that museum really gave me a visual picture of how messed up people treated African Americans,people should go here to know that info and concept to teach them we are all equal.
This is an amazing deep thought museum. I hope to visit it one day! Love the history. Thank you
Thank you for showing us this museum. It’s something that everyone should see but not something everyone can make it to.
CB.... I just want to humbly thank you for all the great educational and adventurous vlogs. Some of them have me laughing in the aisles.(per say). Keep it up... I love the roadside attractions.
It sickens me to think this is how things were back then. Just because of their skin color, I don’t understand why. We are all made the same, our blood is the same, everything about us is the same, only our skin color and that doesn’t make it right to be racist towards someone. This video actually made me tear up, I can’t even imagine what all the people had to go through back then, the suffering, the pain. I thank God that things have changed no person should have to go through something like this no matter what.
I live here, and it's an experience in it self to go the museum . I promise you it will give you a good insight on history! Great video
Much respect to you for being diverse and showing this museum. Hopefully one day you’ll be able to make a vlog at African history museum in D.C.
Another great video Carpetbagger! I am glad there is a museum like this to showcase the horrors of what really happened during times of slavery. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it and I think that we need graphic reminders of slavery, the holocaust, etc. so that we don't ever sink this low again. Though I do fear that we will, after all we are humans and fallible. Can't believe the graphics in this museum like the penises and labia in the lynching section! And the rape of that woman, and the chained up branding, oh my...
Elizabeth Kline I agree with you but people are doomed to repeat history regardless.
As long as it makes them feel better about themselves.
Slavery all types only happened because of money and more production for more money and of course power.
People never learn.
I wish more people thought lets not ever do that again but if they could do it again they would in a heart beat.
@pnk s.... maybe those who would dare do it again or think about trying......just might get a taste of thier own evil nature!...... that would be the end of that evil.....😳
That was intense
Thank you so much for this! It is hard to watch and look at, but it is much more educational than being taught through slideshows. This makes it much more real.
Wow two of my favorite youtubers and they did a collab! How did I miss this?? Awesome vid
This is a sad but Important history of the terrible things Americans did to African and native Americans I am so sad to see there is still pretty strong racism in some others still around in the 21st century Thank you for this video
mslaerik66 you may not know, but Irish slaves were actually treated worse than African or Native American slaves. Check it out.
mslaerik66 oh, and the British were the ones doing all this heinous stuff. They were the slave importers.
I'm sure all slaves and indentured servants were treated bad
mslaerik66 it's just that most people forget that the Irish were the original slaves imported and most were NOT indentured. An ancestor of mine (Zion Murphy) was kidnapped from County Cork, Ireland, when he was a young child and sold as a slave. There was no indenture there. Later, he, like many others including Africans, were able to buy themselves back by working extra and essentially paying for their implied worth.
mslaerik66 there is an old saying in America, it was found typically written as a warning posted at pubs, inns, eateries, etc. "No blacks, dogs or Irish". The Irish were lower than even dogs back then.. Furthermore the term "luck of the Irish" comes from the English, it originated as a joke, something along the lines of the Irish are lucky to be alive or that the English hadn't killed them all yet. Don't even get me started on the term "Paddy", now that's a rabbit's hole.
From the moment you walked in there all I could do is cry, to think about my husbands ancestors being treated like this breaks my heart!!! I hate that racism is a real thing and how horrible human beings are to one another!
Nyla Lea honestly, it’s barely even ancestors.
The ship was VERY powerful tour, thank you for this.
Just wow, glad I came across this video as I was scrolling through your collection in 2021, thank you for this ❤️
3:34 i thought they were walking into an elevator..so lifelike

Thanks Again for sharing this...
