The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. should be a required field trip for every American. Ironically, most people will not have the means or ability to see it.
My unearned privilege allows me to take time off work without losing my job and to earn enough money to travel for pleasure, so I consider it my duty to report back to those who won't be able to make it to the museum in person.
I hope this virtual field trip gives you a small taste of the experience. The footage here only captures about 1% of the content of the museum, and fails to invoke the emotion that the museum's curators expertly created with light, space, and sound.
These are the photos I managed to take in the six hours I spent at the museum, with you in mind.
Enjoy.
