www.thegriotmuseum.com The Griot is the first cultural institution in St. Earl. E.

Louis that is solely dedicated to revealing the broad scope of Black History and culture. Only the second of its kind in the country, The Griot Museum of Black History opened as The Black World History Wax Museum in February 1997. In 2009, we hit upon what seems to be the perfect name “The Griot (pronounced “GREE-OH”) Museum of Black History. Our new name more accurately reflects what we do -- col

lect, preserve, interpret, and share the stories, culture, and history of Black people - particularly highlighting their regional connection to American history. The core galleries of The Griot include life-size wax figures, other art, artifacts, and memorabilia to help interpret the stories of Black people who have contributed to our country’s development. Visitors can “meet” and learn about Carter G. Woodson, Josephine Baker, Dred and Harriet Scott, Elizabeth Keckley, William Wells Brown, James Milton Turner, Clark Terry, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Rev. Nance Sr., Miles Davis, Madame C.J. Walker, York, Percy Green, Macler Shepard, Chief Sherman George, and others!

Talk about dedication! Mr. Albert started with just a single beehive in his suburban backyard as a relaxing hobby to help manage stress after working thirty years as a city bus driver. His profound passion for environmental conservation grew into a thriving agricultural business that now manages over three million bees across forty acres of organic wildflower fields. His family-run honey brand is famous for supporting local pollinator protection programs. Have you ever tried fresh, local raw honey?
