sara is one of the many people who have come to uganda's national museum to see the exhibition. on the premises of uganda's national broadcaster, in 2015. anybody coming to the exhibition would not find the idi amin stories they have heard about. this is because the organisers say they were trying to tell a positive story. we wanted a discussion, but a discussion that comes from the positive side and then sum up all those things that happened and why we think they happened and what we should do for them not to happen again to this country. in the end, idi amin was more brutal... a historian believes the positive regard for the brutal strongman president exist because the country's history has not been properly reserved and may soon be forgotten. history has been retold and written by the successive regimes. so it appears as though now the history of uganda began with the current government. and nothing is talked about idi amin. and, as such, the younger generation would not experience idi amin first hand, do not have experiences of idi amin. 40 yea rs not have experiences of idi

>> it is a museum to honor with united states s-10. >> like the houston national air and space museum, not the world air and space museum. >> but with apollo we hold that collection but i don't think of it as holding it just for the nation, we hold the apollo collection for the world and we loan artifacts out to museums around the world. and to me a big part of it is this inspiration piece again. we are trying to inspire the next generation and we do through telling this american story of aviation and space. >> with the host of other countries that will be impressed and want to join that leadership. >> it is inspiration. what more inspires a kid then meeting an astronaut, then thinking about i could invent something that would hang in this museum someday. i think it is that awe inspired laconic kids face when they walk into the museum and look up at the lunar module and think this is a story i want to be a part of and those kids come from all around the world. >> i think that is one of the great things about the museum is the icons of american achievement that all can see and share. i

. >> hi, i am corinne porter, i am a curator at the national archives museum. i'm going to show you around the exhibition today. before we head into the gallery i want to talk about this lenticular out in the lobby. it has a photograph of the 1913 women's suffrage march, looking up pennsylvania avenue toward the united states capital. it is overlaid with a photograph from the 2017 women's march from pennsylvania avenue as well.

and we wanted to convert it into a national air and space museum. so with the help of barry goldwater and some other influential politicians, we were able to get $40 million appropriated, and so this building was built. i work here for longer, about six years, than i had worked at -- in the space program as a matter of fact. >> michael collins, i asked what you wished people would ask you. you said about your salary. how much did you get paid for the moon mission? >> zero. i was kidding about that. you know, but, no, we were -- we got paid whatever our salaries were in the organization to which we belonged. i was an active duty, i guess, colonel, in the air force at that time. and so whatever air force colonels -- i was probably overpaid considerably. >> michael collins, the command module pilot for "apollo 11." we thank you for your time today and giving us that time. >> thank you very much. nice to be here. >>> coming up, we'll hear from teasel muir-harmony. the space history curator and author of "apollo to the moon of history and 50 objects." we

according to the national museum of african-american history and culture, the 1963 march on washington provides us a clear and concrete example of this. while the march pushed for equality, while women were instrumental in helping to organize and put the march together, the event was purely dominated by men. the formal program excluded women from speaking. no women were invited to be part of the delegation for meeting president kennedy later in the day. but, as we will talk about some key individuals, i could go on and on all day about different women involved in the movement, but today we will focus on those who took the stance of either education or who were student activists. because for this class with each of you being students, you can make some personal connection with their experiences. but black women are serving a strategists, advocates, activists, organizers, and leaders in the civil rights movement despite the dangers of participating in the movement. not only do they have to fear the same physical violence that their male counterparts were subject to, they had an added com

>> so, i went and gave a talk the national museum of from american history and culture. i wish there was a -- no, there isn't. except for that i went and gave a talk and so the exhibits can change and maybe that will happen, but the definite already one thing that is great is their carrying the book in the book store so it might not be in the exhibit but you can at least buy the book in the book store. has to do with a lack of the material culture connected to ona because, as i said before, she was a fugitive, left very little behind in terms of a trace. if you good to that magnificent museum, there's tubman's shawl and nat turner's bible. so we have remnants from other very famous enslaved people and don't have anything in way of material culture produced. over i will say, this exhibit here made it happen. without the material culture piece, there's definitely an engagement with ona judge and she is represented. hopefully that will make it into that grand building in d.c. >> well, erica, thank you so much. let's give a round of applause.

i told some stories at the national voting right museum outside of selma.nd they had a group there, the freedom singers. heard them sing their songs. afterwards we were at a picnic table and i said, tell me something i wouldn't know unless i was a freedom singer. they said, we raise money to get people out of jail who were being jailed for civil rights violations and stuff. but whenever we did our music, we couldn't leave because they'd see us. we were the only black people there and there'd always be the klan out on the road. he said what we'd do is we'd get in some jewish people's trunk and go to separate houses because they didn't see black people. they'd just see cars going by. about 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning we'd meet up together and get out of town. i said really? yeah, man, you wouldn't know how people helped us during that time. white people helped us. and i've always thought about that. because although -- as the president said african-american history but it's american history. and there are some people that embrace that, because they may have a
