This museum is one of the best I’ve ever been to. The personal stories and narratives contained within it force visitors to reckon with the history of slavery and segregation, and of the lived experiences of Black people in America.
A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”
She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.
