The big day is almost here. The intriguing, touching, and massive National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) officially opens its doors this Saturday, September 24th. I hope you’ll visit this truly fascinating museum that has generated unprecedented support and anticipation.
But if you’re unable to make it to Washington DC’s National Mall for NMAAHC’s inaugural weekend, never fear. The Smithsonian Institution makes sure that its museums stay open almost every day of the year (except for major holidays like Christmas and New Years or unpredictable emergencies).
And if you’re a book lover, I’m happy to report that my book Word Warrior will be on sale in the NMAAHC’s museum shop starting this Saturday. Talk about excited!

This interview was featured on Spectrum, a podcast hosted by Ohio University’s WOUB Public Media General Manager and Director, Tom Hodson.
Thanks for listening and I hope to see you on the National Mall!
