This Black History Month, the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum (NGBIWM) is bringing history to life with two powerful exhibits in Maryland and Virginia!

• Shaping a Nation’s Destiny – Fashion Centre at Pentagon City (Feb. 1–28)
  Experience Black History with life-sized wax figures of trailblazers like A. Philip Randolph, General Colin Powell, and Mary McLeod Bethune—honoring the resilience and impact of Black leaders in civil rights, labor, military, science, and the arts.

• Shaping Maryland’s Legacy – Miller Senate Building, Annapolis (Feb. 4-28)
  A special exhibit celebrating Maryland’s Black pioneers, including Congressman Parren Mitchell, Sen. Verda Welcome, and Cathy Hughes, whose contributions shaped labor rights, education, and politics.

“These exhibits are more than just displays—they are living history, reminding us of the past and inspiring the future,” says Dr. Joanne Martin, Co-Founder of NGBIWM.
