Any DMV breh's going to...

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

I went to the exhibit when they were touring the country. I assumed it was just a larger scale verse of that.

 

[Pineal Gland]

Yes dear?

We could park at my job and walk there

 

[Wink Beaufield]

Got plenty of time to go since I live here.

Gon' wait for the crowds to die down first.

The Roots and Public Enemy

 

[thewiz]

Imma wait a couple weeks

 

[the bossman]

I'm a hit the Art All Night instead. Go in a couple weeks when the huge crowds die down

Went to a private showing last week and let me say it is simply.

A must go for every black person.

For any black person to walk out without a sense of pride is criminal.

I was up there last Friday for a private showing too.

Be a part of history, brehs, and go to the smithsonian

 

[ComputersPutin]

Don't play ya self thinking you walking into the museum without a time entry ticket for the next couple months at least.

And I forgot about Art in The Alley in Trinidad

I'm going this weekend but I heard it was some shyt.

@Heafcliffe I was told that there are no artifacts, just pictures and some pics didn't have any plates listing the names or bio of individuals.

Is it true there's a huge statue of Thomas Jefferson (a slave owner) but no statues of any Black people? I felt that's a slap in the face.

"Some shyt"? Nah. Can't cosign that.

Granted....some of the exhibit were still under construction, but it is worth it.

There are artifacts galore. Some too real (i.e. slave shackles, etc.). The artifacts resonate immensely. I'm talking about Jesse Owens' actual track shoes used to mop up the Olympics, Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves/ robe/ punching bag, MJ's jersey, Venus/ Serena items, instruments from some the greats, signage from the Jim Crow days, artifacts from black frats/ sororities, the Tuskegee airmen practice plane, etc and on and on and on......

Trust, it is not a waste of time!

I'd venture to say that we (DMV Coli) should meet up and go there for one of our outings! That'll be something powerful for us (black folks) to build on.

Edit: I'll reiterate that in my original post above.

It better be as good as you say it is. I was disappointed bc of another review.

We are doing a meetup but the time/date of my tix wasn't convenient for everyone to attend. I'm going Sunday with @awkwardblackgirl & @Trill Russell tho

 

[Mr swag]

I think I'm going Sunday. Will be so packed Saturday that you will not be able to see anything

 

[Mr swag]

You need tickets to get in?

What is a "time pass"

 

[Mr swag]

I'm going next week.

This weekend is gonna be lit!
-Vegfest
-Art All Night
-The Concert for the Museum

I LOVE THIS CITY!

What are these?!?!?!

 

[Kowboy]

No doubt. My wife went yesterday for a donor preview reception event there. First thing she said when she walked in the door was we have to go. She said she almost started crying and had to leave because they have some slave shackles that they used on babies ...... I'll wait for the tourist crowds to die down and go next Sunday.
