This is the amazing place they send you to after the Emmett Till exhibit where his original casket is located. They're also playing music in there such as Precious Lord, Take my Hand and yes there are lots of tears. There's an attendant stationed there to tell you what you're about to see and to also direct you to go to the reflections room (pictured above) afterwards to get your mind back together. They have this running video of his mother talking about her decision to show the world what happened to her son. Its as heavy as it sounds like it is.
The Historical portion of the basement which starts in Africa, ends with Barack Obama.
Its powerful.
Literally, started from the bottom, now we're here.
