ADJAYE: In a way, the museum, for him, is about the way in which the African-American community is absolutely integral to understanding the American identity but somehow has been always in the back room.

And it really is a way of trying to speak to the narrative of where the African-American community originated from. ©NPR http://www.npr.org/2016/09/12/492847793/how-an-architect-used-striking-design-to-capture-new-smithsonian-s-meaning
