If the history of the African American community has been one of resistance (to slavery, discrimination or to racist violence), a museum about their history could not but to symbolize that condition. Located in front of the monument to George Washington (slaver who abolished slavery), the building’s color, shape and materials showcase a conscious resistance confronting the neoclassical white of the buildings in the capital of the United States.
