The first step involved students selecting a notable historical or present-day African-American figure and researching their lives and important accomplishments.
The next step involved creating an informative poster display, which included the person’s name, photos and important information about their lives.
For the final step of the project, the students created the wax museum by portraying their selected African-American figure through the use of costumes and props. Students remained silent and in a frozen position throughout the hallway. Once they were "tapped" the student, came to life and recited a brief oral presentation about their figure’s life and accomplishments.
