The journey begins in the basement with the history of enslavement, then rises floor by floor until it ends in a jubilee of Black pop culture, art, and triumph. Trump better not lay a finger on this.

He will…..we didn’t enslave people…..and even if we did, it was for their own good. They learned trades….. Not to mention this entire museum celebrates black Americans. He call it DEI. I fucking hate this timeline….i fucking hate trump

Remember, after you get through the hard part (and go into that underground fountain of contemplation), GO TO THE SWEET HOME CAFE to your left! It's the best Cafeteria in the Smithsonian. Even got a cookbook.

I do regret not seeing the Emmett Till room. But my excuse is the line was always so long and I was emotionally exhausted by that time and I’m a bit of a coward. I have been about 3-4 times. Maybe one day I will have the courage.

I wanted to take my kids but DC is occupied and I feel somewhat safer in Maryland. It’s important that they learn about how we, as a country, have treated our fellow man in the past simply not being white or male or the “right” religion.

It would be better for the Smithsonian to close their doors for the remainder of the Trump presidency than allow him to use the Institution's museums to whitewash American history.

Trump is terrible! He doesn’t want America to tell the story of slavery but wants to tell the story of crimes in black communities. Remember this, Trump is the criminal who was found guilty on all 34 COUNTS!

The food was OUTSTANDING there too. I’ve never had such delicious food in a cafeteria style setting.

So outstanding. The Capitol building cafeteria was like school cafeteria. I took a tray walked around and put the tray back. There should be a tour of the best museum cafeteria offerings.

surreal. Almost as weird as seeing his job on an episode of Extreme Trains, and reading what he was doing after Mom left him in a railroad magazine, that’s weird. Even weirder was my husband’s supervisor having a picture of him on his desk.

Visiting IRL packs an emotional punch. I had to stop and collect myself. One of the most visceral museum experiences I've ever had. An amazing place, and then there's the architecture of a Ghanaian architect. Beautiful. www.adjaye.com/works/

Trump is a well-known racist with a history of denigrating people of other races. It’s no surprise that he would target this wonderful resource because he wants people to be ignorant of the facts. He only believes in white exceptionalism and doesn’t want to make white people look bad. He’s an idiot.
