The Great Hall displays slavery & civil rights documents along with art of the African Diaspora -- all presented against the backdrop of American history. The push for freedom via the Underground Railroad is discussed alongside the achievements and contributions of African Americans. The first floor gallery spaces are divided thematically and the lower level includes a resource library and meeting space for lectures, presentations and videos.
The museum is one of the largest collections of early computers in the country and includes a Cray, Univac, PDP, early Apple, PC and gaming consoles.
