WASHINGTON A new national museum telling the history of black life, art,
and culture will soon begin taking shape as the 19th museum in the
Smithsonian Institution to explore stories that have sometimes been left
out on the National Mall.
.
President Barack Obama and former first lady Laura Bush will join
Wednesday in celebrating the start of construction for the National Museum
of African American History and Culture, which comes during Black History
Month.
.
It will be built between the Washington Monument and the National Museum
of American History as a seven-level structure with much of its exhibit
space below ground. A bronze-coated corona, a crown that rises as an
inverse pyramid, will be its most distinctive feature. Organizers said the
design is inspired by African-American metalwork from New Orleans and
Charleston, S.C., and also evokes African roots.
.
Some exhibits will eventually include a Jim Crow-era segregated railroad
car, galleries devoted to military and sports history and Louis Armstrongs
trumpet, among thousands of items. There will also be a court for quiet
reflection, Museum Director Lonnie Bunch said.
.

In many ways, the museum already exists. It has staff collecting artifacts
and working to raise $250 million to fund the construction. Congress
pledged to provide half the $500 million construction cost. It is
scheduled to open in 2015.
.

.
The newest exhibit explores Thomas Jeffersons lifelong ownership of slaves
and his conflict and advocacy against slavery, while also looking at the
lives of six slave families who lived on his Monticello plantation in
Virginia to humanize the issue of slavery.
