US slavery museum in Va. facing mounting demands

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A plan to resurrect a national slavery museum proposed by former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder is running into more roadblocks, with demands mounting from creditors.

The company that donated the land for the debt-ridden museum planned for Fredericksburg is asking a U.S. bankruptcy judge to liquidate the museum’s assets, while a storage company is demanding payment for artifacts that were to be displayed in the museum.
