Imagine that you are on the green National Mall with the Washington Monument rising behind you, walking toward the newest structure, a building which stands almost directly across the street from the White House. You are about to walk into a building that represents African American history and culture. What ideas should the museum discuss? Whose stories should it illustrate? In this essay, you are choosing the central story and its teller. And as we have seen this semester, it is a vital story. You are responsible for persuading museum designers of the first impression that visitors will have. This is a weighty task. I hope you will take it seriously.
