About this Event

Join us for a powerful evening as The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum celebrates its 43rd Anniversary and launches the Living History Series—an immersive experience where history, storytelling, and culture come together.

This special anniversary event will feature the unveiling of a new wax figure honoring Shirley Chisholm and the reintroduction of the Henrietta Lacks wax figure, two women whose legacies continue to shape history.

Guests will enjoy a vibrant and engaging atmosphere including:

  • Cocktail Reception with Open Bar
  • Curated Bites
  • Spoken Word & Historical Reenactments

Hosted by Dionne Joyner-Weems, Storyteller, Author, and Innovator, the evening will bring history to life through powerful performances and cultural reflection.
