Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing this letter to inform you about what has recently happened to exhibit B also known as “The human zoo”.

The Exhibit was taken down due to the amount of complaints received from the public accusing it of being racist. Exhibit B was based on black history but what attracted most attention was the slavery part of the exhibit. The public thought this was a racist way to show black history but others thought it was just a way of showing such an important part of history.

The exhibit was given 5 star ratings all across Europe , but when it came to London so many people thought it was racist towards black people. Actress Elexi walker who played the role of a black slave said “It’s ridiculous to think I am being racist because I am involved in a piece that highlights the history of black people”. This point stood out most the most as it caused a public clash between haters and supporters. The supporters of Elexi Walker agreed with her point and began saying how the museum was meant to resemble a significant part of black history. On the other hand, Elexi’s haters spoke out about the museum being racist because it was set up by a white man even though Brett Bailey, the host of the museum, was born in South Africa.

Many people agree and disagree with the shutting down of the exhibit B museum, but I personally think it shouldn’t have been shut down. I believe this because the aim of the museum was to show the public the important events that occurred in black history.

The people who disagreed with the closing of the exhibit thought it was a way of showing people what happened to black people in the past. This included actress Elexi Walker who quoted it was “ridiculous” that she was accused of racism just for taking part in the exhibit.

Actress Priscilla Adade-helledy was nicknamed “ignorant black woman” because she took part in Exhibit B. Priscilla said “I feel abused as a person and I feel insecure that I was taking part in such a project that is absolutely stunning… and now I’m scared for my own safety. I don’t know how it can be seen as racism. If they had seen the exhibit they would understand it”.
