I am a very proud, educated, AAF and so happy that african-americans are being honored for their hard work, dedication and love for this great country, USA. It only take great minds, persistency and fearless persons to forge forward and remind everyone, we are all created equal and contribute to growth, knowledge and integrity for all races of people. I have never been to Russia, China or Sweden, one day this may become a reality. You do not have to have great skills, just the will and determination to seek the best quality of life you can possibly achieve. People throughout the continental USA have finally accepted this fact and building buildings that will always be available for all persons to visit, learn and experience spiritual knowledge. God Bless America.

There have been ribbons of recognition for some African Americans, but the textbooks have failed to tell a complete story and for the most part African Americans have not been given the recognition they so great deserve as a people throughout our history. I am happy that finally there will be a Smithsonian museum honoring and show casing the contributions of African Americans to this country.
