"This museum tells the story of America through an essential lens," said the museum director. "The response from visitors of all backgrounds shows how hungry people are for this history."
“C.”
The milestone visitor, a teacher from Georgia, received a special tour and VIP access. She plans to bring her students next semester. "Every American should visit this museum," she said. "It changes how you see our country."
