The mission of the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum (NAHOF) is “to honor antislavery abolitionists, their work to end slavery, and the legacy of that struggle, and strive to complete the second, and ongoing abolition – the moral conviction to end racism.” NAHOF believes that, by understanding history, the present may be better understood. Black History Matters highlights lesser known American history.
