What To Expect From The African-American Museum?

“An African-American museum on this scale — cost estimates range from $300 million to $500 million — is beyond hyphenation. Though it will of course tell the history of slavery, its perversions and its legacy, along with the much-hyphenated explorations of identity and culture that ensued, the museum’s tale of interactions may be more profound than any other hyphenated account. American history and black American history cannot be split apart.”
