A video from the ROOTS-101 African American Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, has gone viral after it showed a white woman breaking down in tears while experiencing a simulation of enslaved Blacks arriving in America.
Museum founder Lamont Collins placed a heavy set of shackles on the visitor and said, “Welcome to America,” prompting an emotional reaction.
The moment has sparked both praise and criticism online, igniting conversations about empathy, privilege, and the weight of history.
