And thats what matt olson, who knows more about this than the republicans trying to somehow muddy the waters, very clearly stated. Takedown of trump.

Although clinton told the fbi she did not take powells advice. Her behavior an issue for this veteran last night.

A major milestone for a Science Fiction saga has lived long and prospered.

A long lost symbol of hope in the wake of the 9 11 attacks is now back where it belongs. The famous American Flag raised in the aftermath at ground zero was unveiled at its new home today, the 9 11 museum here in new york. As we reported last night, the flag was mysteriously lost for years but turned up in Washington State in 2014.

Then it was 36 clinical trials, 8,500 patient volunteers, and the hope of millions. And so after it became a medicine, someone who couldnt be cured, . . Finally tonight, anticipation is growing in advance of the opening later this longawaited Smithsonian National museum of africanamerican history and culture. It has been a dream of generations, but for so long political and financial challenges, even the lack of a collection, stood in its way. I toured the museum this week with the man who has spent the last 11 years trying to make it into a reality. The africanamerican story is the american story, yet as the planners of this would discover, it is one not easily told. I think a lot of people wonder to themselves, what took so long. I think part of it was that, candidly n order to tell this story, we had to be comfortable looking at america and all its faults. Im not always sure americans are ready for that. Reporter the starting point of this journey is slavery, from the iron shackles that bound captives during the long ocean crossings, to a slave cabin from south carolina. A guiding principle at the museum of history and culture says its director lonnie bunch, is to tell the unvarnished truth. Were standing in front of a statue of thomas jefferson. Behind jefferson are bricks that represent the 600 people that he owned during his life. Reporter so i see names. Those are the names of slaves that jefferson owned . What we wanted to do in this museum is humanize people. Reporter the Sprawling Museum began construction 4 1 2 years ago costing 500 million. It tells an uneven story from segregation 60s we thought that 1968 was so transformative in terms of the black power movement, the assassination of Martin Luther king, resurrection city, the fight against vietnam. Reporter to the first africanamerican president , to todays racial tensions over police use of force. This is not a linear march to progress. What we wanted to do was to say the struggle to help america be america will continue as long as there is an america. Reporter the incredible africanic influence on sports, music and culture is seen throughout the museum. Muhammad alis head gear from the fifth street gym. Chuck berrys cadillac. Look at that. This is the mothership from George Clinton that was really important to many people. I think i got more questions about this than anything else. Reporter one piece of the tv exhibit posed a particular challenge to the curators. How to recognize bill cosby. It was important to damaged his legacy and so thats what we wanted to do. Reporter you included that down here in the last sentence. That his career has been severely damaged and this has damaged his reputation. Reporter this Museum Offered a prominent Vantage Point along the washington mall. Well tell the fact that there were slave pens not too far from here. Reporter but the view of an often untold american story that curators hope will open eyes. If youre interested in american notions of spirituality or our notions of liberty, this is the place to look. Reporter the museum opens its doors september 24th. That will do it for us on this thursday night. Im lester holt.
