"It’s a given that tourists visit the National Mall and explore as many of the Smithsonian institutions as possible, but the newest addition to the museums is especially pivotal as it’s the first-ever in the country to archive and document the African-American experience. Walk the halls and view artifacts like Muhammad Ali’s headgear and Eddie Murphy’s Detroit Lions jacket from Beverly Hills Cop II."
