NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - Members of the New Orleans city council approved plans Thursday for a National Slave Ship Museum.

If the proposal wins final approval, the museum will be located at the Celeste Street Wharf in the Lower Garden District.

Supporters say the museum will enhance and perpetuate New Orleans' status as a major cultural hub and destination by recreating the saga of the African Diaspora story of slave trade in the United States along the Mississippi River, via the Port of New Orleans.

The proposed $170 million museum will include a life-size interactive slave ship built inside a new five-story building and a riverfront park with an amphitheater and two replica African villages.

We may be responsible for keeping it at the forefront, but Britain exported it around the world; the Americas (north & Caribbean), eastern, western, and southern Africa, Asia, Australia...even Hawaii.
