Black churches back embattled Smithsonian African American history museum after Trump's order [View all]
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.”
