Discover History

In the fall of 2016, the National Museum of African American History and Culture will open its doors at the National Mall in Washington DC.  This awakening will occur after 13 years of planning and design.  The Museum (according to the Smithsonian Institution website) will be "devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, art, history, and culture".  I recently had the opportunity to visit the site where the Museum is nearing completion.  The site is on the National Mall, at 15th Street, just across the street from the Washington Monument.  Not only will the Museum have exhibits, it will also host ceremonies and performances.
