“Four hundred years have past since America’s original sin and still riots are ignited in the friction between race and justice. As this debate continues the Smithsonian is completing a monumental project, the $500 million National Museum of African American History and Culture... Building the museum has been a long struggle, just like the story it hopes to tell. Beside the monument to Washington, a slave-holding president, the museum is breaking free of the ground on the mall’s last five acres. Eight decades after Congress framed a museum on paper and then failed to fund it, the dream is being written, this time, in steel and stone. Ten floors. Five above ground, five below. Its complexion, rendered in shades of bronze, a building of color against history’s white marble.”
