"The African American Museum in Philadelphia, which was down the street from where we lived, is a pretty special place. When I was there, a lot of Philadelphians were like, 'I've never been.' I sometimes think people imagine the museum is just going be just full of archives. But there is so much rich history that ties directly into American history, into Philadelphia history, that I just would suggest people go there to get such a sense and more of a breath of appreciation for African American culture."
