Slavery Museum

NPR's Lynn Neary talks with Jim Petty about his collection of items related to slavery, and his efforts to find a site for a museum. He and his wife wanted the museum to be in their own state, Mississippi, but ran into political opposition. The museum will now be in Mobile, Alabama.
