The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is marking a major milestone this week, celebrating its 10‑year anniversary. The museum, which opened its doors a decade ago, has become a key destination for visitors interested in the African‑American experience.
Photojournalist Parrish Smith revisited the museum to reflect on its opening and to document its current exhibitions. He captured images of the historic entrance, noting how the space has evolved over the past ten years.
Inside, Smith explored a range of displays that showcase the achievements, struggles, and cultural contributions of African Americans. The exhibits continue to draw attention from scholars, students and the general public.
During his visit, he also stopped at the museum’s Sweet Home Café, a popular spot for visitors to relax and enjoy refreshments while reflecting on the stories presented in the galleries.
As the museum celebrates a decade of educating and inspiring, it remains a vital part of the Smithsonian Institution’s mission to preserve and share America’s diverse heritage.
