"America I AM"

The exhibit title America I AM means that African Americans also have also made an imprint in America today. In the exhibit they highlighted the success in history of African Americans. One exhibit shown was Michael Jordan uniform that he wore during game 6 in the NBA finals. Another exhibit that we think made an imprint was the quote of Martin Luther King J.R, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". They also showed that African Americans such as Tupac, used his poetry to show what he dreamed for the African American community. One exhibit also highlighted the success of Shirley chisholm  in becoming the first black women to serve in congress. Lastly in the reconstruction gallery they showed how African Americans affected the U.S constitution.

In our opinion overall we think the exhibit was very educating and exciting. Our favorite exhibit was discovering the achievment artifacts, That showed Michael Jordan Jersey. We also enjoyed the museum was set up, and that it actually fit the theme of the museum. More importantly we enjoyed how much we had learned from the exhibits and still had fun. Lastly we would recomend this museum to tourist from out of town.
