African American History Museum
Last month, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in our nation's capital bringing in crowds from all over to get a glance at many untold stories of our nation. This is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history and culture.
President Barack Obama formally opened the new museum along with Ruth Odom Bonner, who's father was born a slave in Mississippi. The museum itself tells the story of U.S. history from an African American's perspective chronologically, rather than thematically, having its visitors start from the very bottom and work their way up.
It truly is a sight to see and is currently free to the public with a reservation, but the tickets go fast. Advanced times passes through March 2017 are no longer available online or by phone, but you are able to get "Same Day Timed Passes" available each day beginning at 9:15 AM/EST. If you have questions about planning your visit call 1-844-750-3012. You can also visit their website to learn more about the exhibitions and upcoming events at
