Manhattan's Tenement Museum expands its exhibits to include the history of African-American migrants. Visitors can now tour a two-room apartment that recreates the living conditions of Joseph and Rachel Moore, a Black couple who lived in Manhattan during the US Civil War. The Moores lived in a crowded unit with three other boarders, without running water. The apartment contains a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the president who abolished slavery. The Moore family's story highlights the challenges and experiences of migration within the United States.
