    Opening Of National Museum Of African American History And Culture

    On September 24, 2016, the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in Washington, DC.

    Calls for a museum honoring African American history and culture date back to 1915.  That year, a group of African American Union Army veterans met in Washington, DC for a reunion and parade, but were met with discrimination.  After that, the group made plans to create a memorial to African American achievements.

    After years of efforts, their proposal was received by President Herbert Hoover, who called on Mary Church Terrell, Mary McLeod Bethune, and others to work toward creating a National Memorial Building to African American achievements.  However, Congress didn’t award funding and private fundraising failed.

    Over the next several decades, new proposals would surface, but none gained major support.  Then in 1981, Congress approved the creation of the National Afro-American Museum in Wilberforce, Ohio.  However, some still called for a stand-alone museum in Washington, DC.  The attention these calls received inspired the Smithsonian to stage an exhibit, “Field to Factory,” which in turn gained further support for the museum idea.

    The museum’s supporters repeatedly proposed their idea and finally achieved success in 2003.  On November 19, the House passed the National Museum of African American History and Culture Act, providing funds and a location for the museum. The legislation also included funding for other African American museums to help improve their operations and collections.

    In 2008, the museum’s council held a competition to design the 350,000-square foot building, which would include three stories below ground and five above.  The winning design was in the shape of an upside down pyramid surrounded by bronze elements, inspired by the crowns used in Yoruban culture  The building’s groundbreaking ceremony took place on February 22, 2012.

    While the building design and construction were underway, the museum’s officials had to create the collection.  So, the museum’s curators launched a nationwide campaign asking for donations.  In the end, generous and supportive citizens donated a collection of about 40,000 artifacts.

    The museum officially opened to the public on September 24, 2016, with President Barack Obama participating in the dedication ceremony.  President Obama and the Bonner family, descendants of escaped slave Elijah B. Odom, rang the Freedom Bell to mark the museum’s official opening.

    A tour of the museum begins 70 feet below ground level, tracing history from slavery to emancipation.  Exhibits include part of a slave ship, shackles, an auction block, bales of cotton, Harriet Tubman’s shawl, and Nat Turner’s bible. The next section features items from the segregation-era, including a “whites only” door, Rosa Parks’ dress, a prison tower, a Ku Klux Klan robe, and a segregated railroad car.  There is also a Contemplative Court to reflect on the history inside.

    The museum’s upper galleries honor African Americans in art, entertainment, and the military.  Exhibits include military medals, Muhammad Ali’s boxing gloves, Jesse Owens’ cleats, Althea Gibson’s racket, Jimi Hendrix’s vest, and Louis Armstrong’s trumpet.  Together, these relics celebrate African American’s triumph over adversity.

    By the end of its first year, the museum had three million visitors, with an average of 8,000 people every day, double what planners had anticipated.

    Clean good
    I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this trimmer is to handle. The design feels lightweight in my hand, and the gray color actually looks really sleek on my counter. The blades work smoothly without pulling, and it gives a neat trim without irritation. I like that it’s simple to clean and doesn’t take up much space in my drawer. The noise level is low enough that it doesn’t feel distracting, and the on/off button is placed in a way that makes it comfortable to use. It’s a straightforward tool that does exactly what I need, and it’s made my routine a lot quicker and more convenient.

    Perfect size for my travel bag
    I threw this trimmer in my bag for a weekend trip. It doesn’t take up much space, and it was charged before I left. Ended up using it at the hotel, and it was super quick to set up. I just trimmed, rinsed it under the sink, and done. The battery lasted the whole trip, I didn’t even bother packing the charger. I liked that it didn’t make a mess, which is usually my issue with razors when I’m away from home. It’s small and easy to hold, I didn’t feel like I needed a whole setup to use it. Now I actually keep it in my travel bag so I don’t forget next time. For trips where space is limited, this turned out to be a good little tool to have.

    Quiet but Strong
    The sound level surprised me. I expected a louder buzz, but it’s much quieter, which makes using it less stressful. The size is small enough to maneuver easily, but it doesn’t sacrifice strength. Even with thicker hair, it trims without pulling. That’s usually my main concern with electric tools, but this one feels secure and safe. Another thing I enjoy is how light it feels in my hand. I used it on my arms, legs, and bikini line, and I didn’t have to grip tightly. The design makes it simple to hold and move around curves without nicking the skin.

    Great Trimmer for Sensitive Areas
    I’ve been really happy with this Dermave bikini trimmer. It’s compact, easy to handle, and works well on delicate areas without causing nicks or irritation. The 2 in 1 feature is great. I use the smaller head for facial touch ups and the larger one for bikini and body areas. The ceramic blade glides smoothly and feels safer than traditional razors. I like that it’s waterproof, so I can use and rinse it in the shower. The charging dock keeps it neat and charges it quickly. Battery life has been solid so far. It’s also pretty quiet, which is a bonus. Whether you’re maintaining between waxes or just prefer trimming, this is a reliable and gentle option.
