    This is fantastic! My family and I traveled from Georgia to visit the African American History Museum and to see my 17 year old Black son experience the museum was priceless. Thank you for this video!

    I first visited this awesome museum in 2017. And I will visit again in 2024. There is so much to see, learn, process and feel. I feel such love and gratitude for our people and all we’ve overcome. We are magnificent human beings. I am a member of this museum. I want it to exist forever. Love, peace & blessings to everyone who visits or supports this museum. 💞

    Got emotional watching this journey of the museum, people and the ones in the past that endured a life worst than cattle. There were white monsters that didn’t feel an ounce of humanity! I also appreciate that there were some humane white men that made the dream of white people come through. For the abolishing of slavery and discrimination and also for making this museum happen.

    Beautiful, well put together video. You so called Blacks, Hispanics and Native Indians are the biblical JEWS, the Israelites the bible speaks of. You are the people of the book, clearly you're above all people. This is a building that shows that. But continue to come together as a people and learn biblically who you are and what God requires of you. Keep his laws and live.
    Deuteronomy 7:6
    6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
    Matthew 5:14-14 KJV
    13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
    14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

    The failure to include the fact that the vast majority of the Africans kidnapped from the westernmost coast of Africa (around 1619) were Muslim is an egregious oversight. Sylviane Diouf in her book SERVANTS OF ALLAH documents the fact that some 65% of the Africans brought to America's shores followed a religion called Islam. And, everyone deserves to know the TRULY glorious ancestral history of Americans of African descent as it relates to Islam.
    At the entrance of the museum is a placard bearing a quote from historian John Hope Franklin, it reads: "We've got to tell the unvarnished truth." I agree.

    You can't talk about our history with our Africa! Without our amazing genius who took our show on our road! That is why they dragged us here! That is such a problem not to rever our true history in this museum! Our history did not begin with slavery, it began with the pyramids and Medu Ntr and the Pyramid! That is why we cannot rise to our hightest potential! like a slingshot we must go all the way back and we will go all the way forward when we do. Recognize Culture! Obama left our men in jail while he spoke! Too many hypocrits were there! It is time we really wake up and tell the whole truth and notHing about the truth! OUR MOTHER AND FATHER AFRICA MUST BE RECOGNIZED! IT MAKEs WHITE PEOPLE FEEL SAFE! Not til our reparations are given! Where is the hope without our reparations that so deserve! The hypocrisy screams out! REPARATIONS MATTER NOW!!!
