The exhibit was interesting. It was well paced and each section made sense in the context of the exhibit. Certain parts, like the church and slave ship were made to look like the real environment which was interesting. There was always a picture, movie, or primary source to look at so you never got bored. Um... I can't really think of a con, but the gift shop selection was pretty sparse. ;)

America I Am
To me the exhibit "America I Am" means that African-Americans have had a huge role in shaping American history and culture and that America would be very different without African-Americans. I can infer this because it started with the first slaves coming over then progressed through history with landmarks such as the Great Migration, Martin Luther King leading the civil right movement, Brown vs Board of Education, and Shirley Chisholm running for president. The final room (not counting the movie) was a tribute to African-Americans that had an impact on American culture; from Jackie Robinson to Louis Armstrong.
