The National Gallery of Art feels like a whole city inside a museum.
On today's visit, I stumbled across
• a 1970s photography exhibit
• a Garden Café I'd never seen before
• a mirror older than the United States

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it!
My fam knew what that meant.
THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

Share an inspiring #BlackHistory fact. I'll go first.
Leah Chase was the Queen of Creole Cuisine. She ran Dooky Chase restaurant with her husband, Dooky Chase Jr., in New Orleans. Their restaurant was the meeting place for secret civil rights meetings. Princess Tiana was created in her honor.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Trump Guts Key Aviation Safety Committee, Fires Heads Of TSA, Coast Guard
The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.
