Great and Complete African American Museum in D.C. - This museum probably requires two trips. It is an extensive and complete historical trip through the beginning of the African Americans arriving in this country, through, the impact of African Americans on cultural aspects today. The museum is laid out well, and even when busy, it is possible to see all of the exhibits. Not to be missed.

Excellent Tour, recommend to everyone! - Dr. Koura Gibson was an excellent wealth of information. Our group was small, just 5 of us total and I loved every minute of it. I will be recommending this tour to everyone I know who wants to visit DC. The tour began in front of the White House and made a circle around it where she expounded on architectural details and history in DC. The tour ends in front of the museum but she provided us with great feedback on how to get the most out of the museum experience. Thanks Dr. Gibson!!!
