PAHMUSA
|  | | | During an Black History Month cooking demonstration sponsored by PAHMUSA , visitors were shown some African dining traditions, and had a chance to taste a traditional meal. |
From shackles and enslavement to freedom and achievement, you can feel the struggles and successes of African-Americans over the course of time, as you enter the incredible museum exhibits at the Pan African Historical Museum USA (PAHMUSA). Located on the mezzanine level near the Columbus Avenue parking garage air walk, PAHMUSA is perhaps one of Tower Square's best-kept secrets. Displaying artifacts including a slave sales receipt, authentic photos, letters and other items, PAHMUSA's exhibits also include outstanding murals as well as other African American artwork and sculptures.
