The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum

Mission Statement

The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum was founded in 1983 by Drs. Elmer and Joanne Martin.

This unique museum, the first one of wax in Baltimore, Maryland and the first wax museum of African American history in the nation, is the brainchild of Dr's. Elmer and Joanne Martin. They established the museum in 1983 with several objectives in mind:
To stimulate an interest in African American history by revealing the little-known, often-neglected facts of history
To use great leaders as role models to motivate youth to achieve

To improve race relations by dispelling myths of racial inferiority and superiority
To support and work in conjunction with other nonprofit, charitable organizations seeking to improve the social and economic status of African Americans
