Private Tour: National Museum of African American History & Culture
Nearly 40 ladies were treated to a before-hours tour of the museum led by three curators, including Jackie Serwer, Chief Curator. Each curator addressed their own specialty areas and added wonderful context to the objects we were viewing.
