Earlier this week we drove to Washington to visit the museum. I told people we were going before the Trump administration closed it down. It occurs to me that it could happen. These people are nuts. Grabbing legal immigrants off the street. Arresting people for speaking favorably about Palestinians. Prescribing Vitamin A to cure measles. The list of stupid and illegal actions would fill a book. If they stop the Voice of America or USAID, shutting down a museum would be easy.
So see it as soon as you can. Check out Chuck Berry’s red El Dorado. See the exhibit on Blacks in the American Revolution (both sides.) Watch the short films. Eat the corn bread and the mac and cheese. Prepare to spend a full day. It is an experience.
