National Museum of African American History and Culture
The Smithsonian Institute opened their 19th museum today, online. The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) will open to the public in 2012, but as of today, it has an online version.
The inaugural exhibit, Let Your Motto be Resistance, highlights the lives of African American activists, scholars and poets and includes images from the National Portrait Gallery. The “Share Your Memory” section of the museum allows users to upload family photographs and to tell their stories of triumph and resistance.
