My Experience at the National Museum of African American History and Culture

Recommendation: 10/10

This is a huge museum split between History and Culture. I walked around for 4 hours and barely made a dent in consuming all the information it had. There were so many different ethnicities at the museum including white people. It is so important for ALL Americans to know Black history because it is American history. We can’t expect change if Black people are the only people caring about us.

The history portion is very gruesome and alarming if you did not have past knowledge of it. For example, there were multiple images of men being hung, and one man did not even have his head attached.
