Article: 1 We Made History!

A brief article of the most elaborate African American Museum located in Washington D.C. This museum was in high demand to salute our ancestors that built America.

This amazing article defines the untold stories of many African Americans and their turbulent uproot from the continent of Africa to the New World. The turmoil that African Americans experienced in the New World as a result of slavery is clearly defined in the new African American Museum in Washington D.C. Many died but they did not die in vain. They understood the importance of freedom and family. In the article,

"VISITING THE SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE IN WASHINGTON, DC", states the museum stands for, "Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom and A Changing America"- Washington D.C. tm.

The African American people victoriously fought for the freedom from chains, to the Civil Rights movement, to voting that lead to the United States in the historical presidential election in 2008 won by our first black President, Barack Obama. It was a historical promise to never give up the fight of our ancestors who were killed and discriminated on our behalf. They operated in unity to fight for political justice.

Political justice has always been tough for African Americans being that they were not considered people but property back in the 1800's. From Harriet Tubman to Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, to Martin Luther King to Barack Obama, we have all contributed to the elevation of our freedom. We have defied all odds that were against us. With the African American museum, we pay homage to the victorious fight of freedom.

This museum tells the story of history left told and untold. There are artifacts such as Bibles used to defeat spiritual warfare and the evil of slavery. African American were given credit for the building of this nations and even the White House. It is a credible resource that acknowledges the master minds and strength of our ancestors. We are not defined by the shame of slavery but by the victory that led to freedom.
