While in LA after traveling all the way from Detroit, I made a visit to the Hidden History Museum to show my support for Tariq Nasheed. I decided to purchase all of his DVDs as a bundle, which provided me with a comprehensive collection of his work. Additionally, I couldn't resist grabbing an autographed copy of his book, allowing me to delve further into his insightful perspectives. To top it off, I proudly bought a t-shirt to display my admiration for his contributions. #TariqNasheed #HiddenHistoryMuseum

The National Archives at Kansas City has reopened its permanent exhibit gallery, “We the People,” to the public. The exhibit, which primarily features records from the National Archives at Kansas City, focuses on how records impact the lives of every American. The exhibit is divided into five sections, each containing interactive displays. The first gallery, “We the People,” introduces visitors to the process of becoming an American and reveals details about immigrants seeking citizenship in the United States. The second gallery, “Form a More Perfect Union,” provides a glimpse into records that show the evolution of our democracy. The third gallery, “Provide for the Common Defense” showcases records of our nation’s activities during wartime, both on the home front and abroad. The final two galleries highlight the human spirit and ingenuity needed to realize America's promise, illustrated through records gleaned from the ever-growing collection of records held by the National Archives. Admission is free. The National Archives is tasked with storing records on behalf of the American people and making those records accessible to the public. https://lnkd.in/gPTQ__xv
