This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

National Museum of African American History-- Part 2: Newest Museum on the National Mall
And, a good place for the museum to be. In 1963, a quarter million came together for the pivotal March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. And, of course, the Lincoln memorial, site of Dr. martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
The vast array of artifacts include several of Harriet Tubman's life. An escaped slave who brought hundreds through the Underground Railroad.
Other items:
** 1830s Bible owned by Nat Turner
** Fedora worn by Michael Jackson, 1984
** Headgear worn by Muhammad Ali, 1973
** Stereoscope image of Booker T. Washington, 1899
