Watch remarks made by President Obama this evening on the eve of the opening of the Smithsonian’s African American Museum of History and Culture.

Both the best of times, and troubled times–that describes where we are today as a nation, and describes the experience that a museum strives to capture. 

This is not just a museum that tells African American stories–it tells American stories. 

The museums’s opening day tomorrow promises to be both amazing and inspiring, with the speeches to match. 

Stay tuned!
