The National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in September of 2016 and the Museum announced earlier this week that since the opening, they have had over a million visitors. “The opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture was a 13-year journey to foster a broader understanding of the black experience in a national and international context,” Lonnie Bunch, the museum’s founding director, said in the press release. “It has truly become a place of healing, reconciliation and celebration where people can embrace not only African-American history and culture, but how that layered history has shaped America’s identity.”
