    Complains about a history museum not focusing enough on the future… It’s whole purpose is to tell the story of the past leading up till now. If he wants to know about African Americans in space go to the space and rocket museum or NASA or hell I’m sure the Smithsonian even has exhibits. But what does he expect to see.

    Near 100 years African Americans couldn’t vote, more than 100 years Women couldn’t vote, and decades of voter suppression of both groups after that. Less than 250 years to work with, oppression is going to show up in chunks of it. Especially when 69 million Women could face troubles voting again if the Save Act goes into effect, and already passed Congress. That’s about 20% of our country… Or to put it in terms of comparison, all of the UK, more than the entire population of France or ~210 of the 230 countries in the world.

      African Americans and Women’s aren’t allowed in space. That would be a DEI hire
