Wonderful museum. Glad for the contributions of so many African Americans, and saddened by their treatment over the centuries, continuing to this day.

It would be amazing if they made a movie about her great great grandfather and named the movie “The Tin Box”....

It would be interesting to see objects collected from black immigrants in the United States.

"One of the locations highlighted in “The Power of Place” exhibition is the Bronx, where black and Latino populations were pioneers in hip-hop culture. In the world of sports, the likes of baseball players Mariano Rivera, Roberto Clemente and Martín Dihigo are represented. In the exhibit “Double Victory: The African American Military Experience” visitors can learn about 2nd Lt. Emily Perez, who was killed in action on Sept. 12, 2006, in Iraq and became the first black female (Afro-Latina) officer in U.S. military history to die in combat." -NMAAHC blog.
