Black churches back embattled Smithsonian African American history museum after Trump's order

As he does one day each month, the Rev. Robert Turner hit the road from his home in Baltimore last week and traveled — on foot — 43 miles (69 kilometers) to Washington.

He arrived by evening on April 16 outside the White House, carrying a sign that called for for “Reparations Now.”

This time, Turner added another stop on his long day’s journey — the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Turner knelt in prayer and laid a wreath at the entrance of the museum in support of its mission, which incurred President Donald Trump’s criticism alongside other Smithsonian Institution sites. In a March 27 executive order, Trump alleged that Smithsonian exhibits had disparaged the nation’s history via a “divisive, race-centered ideology.”

2. Thank you! One thing I have noticed in two Hand Off marches now, is lack of folks of color.

Where we live is 40% folks of color demographically but marches have been 95% white. I won't soft petal that Dems maybe could have done more in last 4 or more years for people of color but can't see that Trump and the GOP will be doing much that helps and likely do much that hurts many minority communities. Not sure what I am missing and open to dialog and education. Help me understand, please.
