it is not even about finding harriet tubman's shawl or amazing material. what it's about, what that guy reminded me, is this museum is about making america better. it's about helping people understand who we once were, give people some context to understand the world we live in today, and maybe point us to what we can become. ultimately the national museum of african-american history looks back and looks ahead. and with your support, as my youngest daughter said, once this museum opens, as long as there is an america there is a chance to tell this story. how humbling is that? thank you very much.
