Child Watch® Column: The National Museum of African American History and Culture: Changing America’s Narrative
September 23, 2016
The September 24 opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture is the realization of a dream that’s been a very long time coming, beginning a century ago when Black leaders first proposed a memorial to Black Civil War veterans.
