A CENTURY IN THE MAKING – In September 2016, the newest Smithsonian museum opened on the National Mall. The journey to open the museum has taken many attempts and numerous steps to realize, including the activism of private citizens and organizations, the passage of federal legislation, the construction of an inspiring new building, and the collecting of thousands of artifacts. 

A CHANGING AMERICA – 1968 AND BEYOND A Changing America: 1968 and Beyond explores contemporary black life through stories about the social, economic, political, and cultural experiences of African Americans. From the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. to the second election of Barack Obama, the coverage is broad.

CITY OF HOPE – In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference launched The Poor People’s Campaign — a national, multiethnic, multicultural movement to demand equal access to economic opportunities and security for all people.

CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS – Cultural Expressions is a circular, experiential, introductory space to African American and African diaspora culture. Culture shapes lives. It’s in the food people eat, the languages they speak, the art they create, and many other ways they express themselves. These traditions reflect the history and creative spirit of African American and other cultures.

DEFENDING FREEDOM, DEFINING FREDDOM – The Era of Segregation 1876-1968 captures the major aspects of that struggle and illustrates how African Americans not only survived the challenges set before them but crafted an important role for themselves in the nation. It also looks at how the nation was changed as a consequence of these struggles and emerged from them more in sync with its pronouncements about freedom, equality, and democracy.
