The museum is not saying Hebews but Africans? We are not African
Sonya Obrigado pelo video
sou Brasileiro e no Brasil temos consciência da nossa negritude temos um movimento negro muito forte porém a grande maioria ainda e muito alienada e diluida por serem mestiços e nao se verem como negros aqui o rascismo e muito forte Sou professor e como muitos irmãos estams criando um movimento forte para as nossas proximas gerações sou de São Paulo capital e aqui tambem temos o museu AFROBRASIL que conta toda a nossa historia e ancestralidade temos muitos problemas devido a falta de união poucos Artistas se assumem como negros e menos ainda lutam pelos negros mesmo sendo de pele escura o dinheiro e a acensão social faz um embranquecimento em seus cérebros O melhor exemplo e o jogador de futebol pelé que nunca defendeu a causa negra e sempre preferiu mulheres brancas
a grande maioria dos artistas negros segue esse mal exemplo enfraquecendo ainda mais o nosso triunfo mas nao tenho duvidad que um dia chegaremos lá obrigado pelo seu video

Yes, people mention mortal combat from time to time when I tell them my name. Thank you for the in-depth book recommendations. I’ll have to check them out.
Stumbled upon this video when reflecting on my trip to DC in March. Went to this and the holocaust museum in the same day and was left in emotions I’ve never quite felt before. As a white man from rural Indiana visiting these two amazing museums opened my eyes a lot and it was an impactful trip all around. Thanks for capturing your visit for all of us to watch
wow, you went to both museums in one day. That is heavy.
was it full of people
i JUST RETURNED FROM DC THIS WEEK AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THE MUSEUM WAS AMAZING AND ENCOURAGE ALL THAT CAN ATTEND, PLEASE GO !!!!!
I agree. Thank you for watching.
Had to watch for my Sociology course and I am not disappointed. Once everything opens up back to normal after Rona is over I will most definitely take my first trip to D.C in order to visit this museum. My family and I on trips to other states usually always find a place that holds history for us to check out so I can't wait!
Hahaha @ “Rona”. Yeah, this thing is messing everything up. Thank you for watching.
Cannot thank you enough for creating this video. It is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I now feel much better prepared for my visit.
You did an AMAZING, pro job on this tour. I'm happy to say that in May 2019, the lines have dissipated. I was alone at 10:30 in the morning as I started my tour at the bottom. This was my favorite museum (and the first I went to) in DC. One of the nicest museums I've ever been to.
Thank you.
Thank you for the tour. I want to go to that museum.
Thank you.
mizzmolly I wanted to go while I was there today. Unfortunately I couldn’t get tickets 😭 thanks for the video! It’s definitely on the bucket list of museums I want to see.
Thank you thank you so much for uploading im African 25 year old man who live in the UK and I have to say my African American brothers have done so much black power
Ps And are sisters too
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching. 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
"Dont touch my hair lory" 😂
I saw that too. 5 minutes into the tour and Lory fuckin up.
@Yazmyn Bee
I was thinking the same thing!
🤣🤣
They still practicing racism at the African American museum gangsta
LOL!!!
Sonya I am so grateful that you posted this very educational video. I loved meeting Shirley Pullins and her voice of empowerment. The smile on your face as she shared with you about digging deeper into your cultural history was awesome.
Awww thank you😊
Thank You so much for this tour, looking forward to visiting the museum soon.
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
Goosebumps while watching. Thank you so much for this. I will be there a week from today,
I’m glad this video helped. I hope you enjoy your visit. Check out my Cape Coast Castle video. It was recorded on my recent trip to Ghana. It’s very educational.
2:39 hell no we fighting right there, you ain’t finna touch my hair bruh !!!
Lol
Big facts!
Triggered by the hair touch........
Hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
✊🏽🤜🏽😵😭
Me toooooooooooo🤞🏾
Me too
Precious. Thank you for the tour. Definitely on my trip list to return to DC and to see the museum.
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
Amazing. Thank you so very much for this opportunity to see this spectacular place of history.
This museum was absolutely amazing and full of mind blowing history that you will need at least a few days to fully enjoy
Thanks but, was there any information on who we were as Africans? Our history did not start here.
I agree. Unfortunately, this museum briefly mentions who we were as Africans. Most of the earlier history in this museum focuses on middle passage and slavery. I echoed some of your sentiment and also interviewed a lady who also shares your view as well. This museum is a nice tool to wet the thirst for knowledge regarding African American/ African history. I'll be traveling to West Africa later this year to Vlog some of the slave passages.
That kinda figures..There are several museums and none of them expound on the truth of our highly intelligent history as a people before being forced here. That's very important when you have people from all over the world visiting these museums.
Vlogging slave passages is ok but, dig deeper if you get the opportunity. There is so much more to us than slavery.
Lynnie Smith I feel the same way. Also what about the narrative that we was here before, indeginous ppl of this land as well.
Lorraine Madison "we was kangz"
Thank you for sharing your trip publicly. I've been to the King Center and the Lorraine Hotel where there is much history of Black Culture. This was a pleasant addition to watch.
Thank you for watching
This was wonderful, thank you so much, you have enspired me to travel to DC. to visit the museum.of African History. I wish their was more. Bless you from Carolyn.
Thank you so much for watching. Yes, really enjoyed DC.
Very nice job on the video! Am going in two weeks and hope to get in.
Thank you
Sonya, I enjoyed your video. Thank You So Much.
You’re welcome. Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for the video! I am going to share it with my students.
Thank You.
Thanks for showing the time elevator! 4:40 I was looking everywhere for a video showing it because I didn’t record it when I was there back in March. Thank you so much!
Excellent, thanks for sharing with us all!
Thank you. I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing. I was trying to get there but now with Corona, who knows when I'll be able to get there. I'm so glad I found your video.
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
THANKS A MILLION FOR YOUR KIND EFFORT. I love this black history museum. It is a must see. Cheers 🥂
Hiii👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾. Thank you so much for watching.
I've been here before with my church. It was so nice to see my roots and when I came from
It’s cool that your whole church was able to visit. Thank you for watching.
hell of my head lori , go back to cali my friend, smh, thanks for this video, i live in freekin maryland and havent been yet still smh, im the type of person who gets emotional, we had a blacks in wax museum in baltimore and i still havent gotten over that on, its in my bones and soul
Just went yesterday. One huge Tip during covid...get a ticket early, and go at your time. It's only open 5 hrs on the weekend and if you waste time, you will miss a lot.
That’s a great tip. Thank you for watching.
Oh my God I'm even more excited about going! I can't wait to see it!!
Thank you for watching
My mom took me for my 17th birthday and my god it was amazing and heartbreaking but its defiantly educational and i think everyone should go at least twice .
You’re probably 18 now with my very late reply. I’m glad you got to visit. Twice is definitely necessary.
Thank you for making this video. The quality is amazing
I was there yesterday with my Father. You can spend an entire day in this place and still not see and read all the History! Great video by the way...
I appreciate that I can view the African- American history museum on UA-cam. I always wanted to see it, but was unable to since I'm in the midwest part of the country. Thank you for creating this video.
When she grabs her hair ( I cringed)
Many thanks, I’m visiting this museum and have allocated three whole days to do justice to its content and context. Really useful to see the layout too.
No problem. Thank you for watching. I wish I could have gone 3 days in a row. That is so amazing.
Excellent. I actually shed a few tears I’m so proud. My daughter, son in law , grandson and I are attending today. Thanks for sharing your experience Sonya.
Great video! I recently visited this place on my first ever trip to DC and although I didn't vlog it I think it was one of the most incredible museum experiences I've ever had. It was really difficult at times, as it should be if you fully take in the history of African Americans, but well worth it. I really want to go back again and see other people experience it! :-)
Thank you. Yes, I really want to go back as well.
Thanks for sharing this video I just went there myself very inspiring
This was my favorite of the Smithsonian museums that I visited. I wish I could go back and spend more time there.
Me too.
I went to this museum on December 27, 2019. This museum is super nice and huge
Awesome that you got to go before the current state of thing. Yes, I didn’t realize how massive it is when I went.
Yeah it’s huge
Loved your Blogger. Thank you for sharing.
Genefa Jo thank you ❤️
Thank you for the tour!
I would've been like "Ok Laurie, remember don't touch Black peoples hair!" lol. Thanks for the vlog, can't wait to visit but looks like I'll have to get my patience in order for those lines! omg
Yes, the museum is excellent and most of the time, busy. It's like you can't see it all in one day...One of my favorite and most emotional parts was on the elevator. It's like traveling back in time as the elevator descend the centuries descend. And you get dropped off in the 1400's I believe. That was emotional for me!
I remember that. Yes, it was very emotional.
I'm going tomorrow and really looking forward to it. Thank you for this 🎥
If you ever do manage to go, I would suggest taking your time and reading as much as you can. The Emmett Till memorial had me sobbing-
Nice video!
I went here yesterday, although i am black my favorite part of the museum was the very bottom. Where the giant Declaration Of Independence was. It looked the most live out of everything there
Thanks for taking us along on this amazing and too many times forgotten history. I appreciate you ❤
THANK YOU, ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT
Thank you for watching 🙂
Thanks Sister for the preview.
Thank you for making this video. GREAT JOB!
What a well-shot and edited video. To comment on the lovely Ms. Pullins’ message, I would encourage people to look into West African history more deeply than Egyptian history as a basis for African American roots. It is a beautiful and rich set of cultures. The Yoruba people were some of the last to be taken to the Americas and much of their vibrant cultural influence permeates Afro and Afro-Latin culture here today. As for Egypt, I think some people latch onto it because It’s harder to find information on West African civilizations, and American Eurocentric education focuses on Egypt so much. (Egyptian “royalty” was incestuous anyway, and imho, admirable beauty and power lies in the tenacity of the common people.)
I just sent this to all my past teachers to show in their classroom. Your walk-through was awesome and educational to the max!!! #BLM!!!!!!
Oh cool. Thank you and thank you for watching. ✊🏾
This was such a treat to be able to show this to my students in California since we cannot get there now. Thank you for sharing!
2:39- "She's so cute" and grabbing your hair gave me the chills. I just dont know how to explain it.
Gave me chills too. We are such a novelty to others races why? They love-hate us why? I just watched the Rape of Racy Taylor and she was treats horrible. Never received justice.
I appreciate you sharing your visit. I visit the museum once and seen the top levels but not the lower levels. I wanted see Tills casket and Parks dress. I just paid for a virtual tour and missed half of it and the part I missed highlighted the lower level. I did get a glimpse of Rosa’s dress. I was there about 1 1/2 standing outside to get a ticket then about 2 hours inside to see the upper level. I came to town with my fiancé who was sick and we got a chance to tour the White House. He told me if I got a ticket go ahead an tour and come back later. He had stage 4 lung cancer. Thank you again for sharing you trip. You are a cutie. Abundant blessings.
dont make it more than it is.
Nice Tour... I’m going next year... I just have to see the Emmett Till Memorial...
Thank you for watching. Please come back and post your experience. I would love to know of any changes since the video posted.
I didnt get to see the contemporary section with the steppin and sports figures...I thought I was done. Now I need to go back lol BUT there is one place you may not have seen....the Contemplation Court room Its right next to the Cafe and leads up a small ramp to a room of a circlular water fall pool! Its gorgeous!
oh, geez you’re right. I don’t think it’s in this video. 😕. Oh my godness. I am super glad you posted so tips to help ppl get into this museum. Thank you so much. You rock!
Thank u. This was awesome! Hopefully I get to go one day!
I am so grateful you watched. Thank you for watching. You make like my Cape Coast Castle video filmed on my trip to Ghana.
Thank you for watching. I do hope you get to go as well.
great video Sonya I really liked it
Cool. Thank you for watching it.
Thank you so much for this beautiful amazing insight to our history ♥️
Great filming & excellent learning!
Thank you
Im going here in 2 weeks can't wait to see everything
Yay!! Come back and let me know how you like it.
Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.
Thank you for this video !! New Subscriber.
U deserve more sub and likes :)
Thank you. Being a small UA-camr is a lot harder now. hahaha
@@sonyadelight9755 true
love from Africa sister
"A new form of slavery" Im pretty sure the muslim slave trade is as ancient as their culture. Should also be noted those slave markets are still open.
Thank you for this!
This museum is a MUST if you go to DC. Definitely worth it.
i may be years late to this, but i went here for a school trip and its left me emotionally scarred. they warned us beforehand but i didn’t think it’d be that bad. RIP Emmett till
Yes!! The Emmett Till memorial is very emotional!! It made me cry when I saw it.
Thanks for showing this! I just visited dc last week and my group was not able to go sadly and I really wanted to see!
Dazzling Dalliya you’re so welcome. 😊
Did Lori “sneak” and touch your hair…in the African American Museum 😕. Great video miss lady! With this new info I’m heading there either today or tomorrow. (Doing this and natural history museum) 🍿🍿🍿
Great video. Going here pretty soon but a little scared of being overwhelmed. My heart bleeds when I know what people have gone through and still going through
That Asian woman 3:15 - 3:20 made me chuckle. Loved the tour and people
Oma Rumunna yeah. I love looking at people in the back ground as well. I’ve never noticed her before this comment. Lol
You are Beautiful , Thank you for this Video,:-)
👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 thank you and thank you for watching.
My favorite part of museums is the preserving of artifacts and other tools and reading about them. Then you can envision them being used back in their time. Such as the dresses being worn and furniture in a house. Dioramas are the best!
a must see in Washington D.C., staff was wonderful, friendly, helpful. great time had by all, learning experience..
Yes, I agree. Thank you so much for watching.
Amazing video, helped a lot! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching.
I'm not from the states, so thank you for this
Do you know that white lady just insulted you by calling you cute mommies are cute not black people and had the nerve to touch the little bun your head with a smirk.
No,, she just touchy but did not insult her in any way .
It was kind of shady that she was trying to be nice just to certain people. You know what i mean.
I didn’t feel insulted. We talked for a very long time before I recorded that part.
Can't they find a way to streamline things better. It's frustrating watching people suffer in lines and crowds. All those lines and waiting make the experience at the museum suffer. All the other museums I've been too (12+ from DC to NYC) has no where near the lines and jammed crowds as this. Why's it have to be the Africa America museum that has this experience. This breaks my heart.
I agree. I think it’s because it’s new everyone wants to go. Also it’s the only museum that focuses on actual black people. It’s unfortunate that it is the only museum of this magnitude in this country ( maybe the world 🤔) that actually delve into black history in such a way.
I just visited DC and tried months in advance to get tickets to this museum. Can you believe the tickets are two years out. SMH There are two other options to get tickets, 2nd, the Smithsonian puts out tickets online at 6:30 am, set your alarm and if you're lucky you can get up to four I think. The third option is to get in line pretty early and stay there until it opens to the public at 1:00. So get ready to camp out. Its crazy. I didn't make it in but maybe in the future. I enjoyed DC, Baltimore, and all the other landmarks.
Oh wow.
2:45 bay areaaaaaa!!! ❤❤❤
Honestly, this should be a free museum. Most things in D.C. are. This of all things should be also.
It’s free. They have the ticket system to regulate numbers in the museum.
Waiting on the Hispanic American Asian American European American Jewish American and Arab American Museums….
I'm going next Friday hopefully I can see everything in one day!
Wow that place is packed.. there’s one in Baltimore very informative. Baltimore also has Harriet Tubman byway..wait until you see where she lived❤️she has a whole town and museum now:
cool museum
Yeeeeeaaa..i Gotta Go Check This Out 4real👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯💯💯
Thank you for watching 👋🏾👋🏾
@@sonyadelight9755 No Problem👌🏾..Im Gonna Make It a Priority to Go👊🏾
I was just there 1 hour ago
Thanks for posting! Did you go on a weekend?
I went on a Thursday morning.
That's the one cardinal rule my Bajan step-grandfather taught his little white grandbabies, NEVER touch a sister's hair. You can compliment and look, but no touching.
Of course unless you were given explicit permission to.
and asking for permission is as demeaning as doing so.
Nice reconnaissance, just what i'm looking for. Just need one of those hard to get tickets to complete
Haha that is exactly what it was. Thank you so much. I’m glad it helped.
if you are a vet or active duty military, fireman, police officer or first responder, you just show up with military id or dd 214 or other credentials of proof of service or occupation. you are allowed 2 guests. or you can just show up as soon as the doors open and they may let you in.
Finally, got tickets for this weekend yay
Iv been there loved it going back
Thank You!
I went to that muesuem it very nice and i had such a good time
That's awesome!!
Thank you.
I went here with a group (I don’t remember their name or what they actually were, it was two years ago, my apologies.) along with my brother and cousin two years ago, it was genuinely so amazing. Although I don’t remember a lot of it (horrible memory) I do remember a few things. I pray that ill be able to come back soon.
