2003 and to envision the museum to be built on the mall where we honor artists, inventors, explorers, soldiers and states men. i m particularly proud of the museum s vision which is dedicated not simply to this building but also to reaching out to communities around the nation. the museum has already begun traveling expedition and artifact preservation programs. it is a museum dedicated to welcoming all americans whether or not they ll be able to travel to washington, d.c. i m glad, too, that this building will be able to stand next to the monument of our first president, george washington. a man who came to recognize the evils of bondage freeing his slaves in his will. side by side these two spots are symbolic of our own national journey, for the stories that will be preserved within these walls, the stories of suffering and perseverance, of daring, of imaginuation and triumph are the stories of african americans and are also stories that are forever woven through the heart
