The African American Wax Museum, as it was called, garnered widespread attention in New York and abroad, gaining a reputation as a truly unique institution. In chatper one of Raven, we take a tour of the African American Wax Museum and get to know the founder. If you like Raven, you might like Gavin's other podcast, The Art of Crime.
