Yes, W. Kamau Bell. In fact, the upper floors of the NMAAHC show some of the most fascinating and inspiring history of Black creativity and achievement. The museums don't just tackle "slavery".
There's also a fantastic museum café with regional delicacies served. And a cookbook you can buy as a souvenir. (I own a copy. Dr. Jessica B. Harris, "High on the Hog" author & food historian, co-edited it.) Leave the museums to the trained historians. #nmaahc#Smithsonian #americanhistory #museums

"Let me make it Malcolm X plain here. The museums of the Smithsinian are not broken. If anything, the efforts of the last few years have made them better and better. They incorporate many perspectives and many examples of America. In fact, the NMAAHC is doing its job so well that it is regularly ranked as one of the most popular of the Smithsonian museums." W. KAMAU BELL, "Yes, Trump is F*king with the Museums"
