Slavery Museum restoration begins in April

José António Fazenda, director of the Slavery Museum, revealed that the museum will begin to be restored in April, as part of an agreement with the Embassy of the United States of America (USA) in Angola, which arose within the framework of the visit that former US President Joe Biden made to Angola in December last year.

According to Angop, the project will cover the main infrastructure and the collection, as well as the construction of jangos and lecture areas, aiming to provide more comfort to visitors.

While the rehabilitation process continues, the existing remains will be taken to the Anthropology Museum.

It is worth remembering that the former US President, Joe Biden, was in Angola in the first week of December last year, when the US government announced a fund worth more than 220 million dollars to rehabilitate the Slavery Museum, in the country's capital.

In fact, Biden's program in Angola included a visit to this museum, where the then US President gave a speech evoking the memory of the millions of enslaved Africans, including Angolans.

This museum was created a few years after Angola became independent. It was created in 1977, with a view to raising awareness of the history of slavery in the country.
