A powerful moment

One powerful moment stood out during Saturday’s dedication of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

The first black President and the first black First Lady helped Ruth Bonner, the 99-year-old daughter of a man born a slave in Mississippi, ring a bell to open the first national museum of black history.

The bell dates back to the 1880s, but was recently restored and rang again this year for the first time since segregation.
