Museums
As an institution of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of African American History and Culture systematically sorts out the development process of African communities from the slavery period to the present through artifacts, images and interactive installations, constructs a dialogue space across time and space, and guides the audience to face the complexity of history and think about the contemporary significance of identity and social justice. The permanent exhibition is divided into four sections according to the timeline: "Slavery and Freedom", "Segregation Era", "Civil Rights Movement" and "Contemporary Echoes", with more than 3,600 artifacts on display. Soul-touching exhibits include Harriet Tubman's prayer book, photos of Emmett Till's funeral, and Obama's inauguration speech. The "Cultural Expression" exhibition hall on the third floor focuses on music, literature and art. Visitors can listen to the historical evolution of blues and jazz through an interactive jukebox. The "Reflection Room" installation uses water screen projection to reproduce the mid-journey of African immigrants, combined with the sound effects of the shaking hull, to create an embodied historical perception. The amphitheater regularly hosts oral history events, inviting ordinary people to share family memories. The top-floor "Community Forum Area" provides a digital archive where visitors can read digitized versions of local black newspapers or participate in online discussions. Children can learn about African-American scientists through jigsaw games; teenagers learn visual expressions in social movements in the "Protest Slogan Workshop." The restaurant "Sweet Home" reproduces traditional Southern black cuisine, such as kale stew and cornbread, and the ingredients are traced back to black-run farms. The bronze grille on the exterior of the building pays tribute to the Yoruba metal craftsmanship, and the spots of light cast by sunlight form a dynamic narrative over time. The "Well of Hope" in the atrium goes from the third underground floor to the dome, symbolizing the collective journey from oppression to light.
