Thank you Professor Ambers amd family for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the community. Unfortunately, much of history has been concealed, misconstrued and/or forgotten. Much love and respect for keeping it preserved and alive! (Photos of the book taken with permission)

This place provided a phenomenal educational experience for our group of 25 young adults from L.A. Kudos to the founder and owner who is a professor and historian, with deep knowledge of everything in the museum. Will definitely return and spend more time there.

Visited San Diego on a business trip last year and was looking to learn a little history. Stumbled across this museum while in an Uber and asked the driver to let us out. Thank you Professor Ambers for taking the time to educate me and my wife the true history of the black ancestors and San Diego. Learned so much in such little time. I live in D.C. but will travel back to San Diego just to visit the museum again.

You can tell this man is so passionate about what he talks about. He talks about missing history we’re never taught in school when it comes to black and latin history. His parrot is super cute too!

There's a lot of information to be seen but you can tell when a tour guide doesn't know what they're giving you a your on. The door fee is super inexpensive and you get a study guide to take notes on. Not a good place to visit for folks with a physical disability.
