Tavis Smiley Launches Black History Exhibit

A courageous speech that helped catapult a little-known senator into the halls of the White house; 18thh century iron shackles that once subdued human cargo traversing the Atlantic; and a key that locked the cell of an activist but helped spawn one of the most eloquent letters known of a generation—they’re pieces of American history. These relics will be on display at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia starting today. The exhibit, America I AM, was curated by author and Journalist Tavis Smiley.
