Black History Museum to Be Built in D.C.

February is Black History Month and it is therefore appropriate that here on the eve of the month comes the announcement of the Black History Museum in Washington D.C.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture will be built on the National Mall near the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institution said Monday.

The National Mall features monuments to presidents and several museums that are part of the Smithsonian.

Here is the story on the museum.
