President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and former-First Lady Laura Bush attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the National Museum of African-American History and Culture ("NMAAHC"), which is set to open 2015 as the 19th Smithsonian museum. In preparation for its opening, the museum has collected over 20,000 artifacts, including but not limited to Harriet Tubman's shawl, Nat Turner's Bible, and an airplane flown by the Tuskegee Airmen.
The NMAAHC is the first African-American museum sponsored by the government of the United States. It will sit on a five-acre site in Washington, D.C. Click HERE for more information.
