there is the american indian museum they're supposed to be building or they get a groundbreaking work for the museum of the latinos who knows what and from the jewish perspective of course we have the united states holocaust memorial museum down on the mall as well who knows what's going to happen with that but they're doing it's not just african americans expecting all minority groups including us jews you know and our history and so forth because christian nationalism is not interested in any other culture but their own, okay? You get the idea.
MarkAUDIENCE
And I'm what you call an official friend of the Smithsonian.
MarkAUDIENCE
I get the Smithsonian Magazine, so I do follow up on all the different cultures and all that, and I try to follow up with the changes.
