Melania Trump, Sara Netanyahu visit Museum of African American History and Culture

None

First lady Melania Trump has taken her Israeli counterpart to one of Washington's hottest tourist attractions, the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

 

Mrs. Trump and Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, were led on a tour by David Skorton, secretary of the Smithsonian, and Lonnie Bunch, the museum's founding director.

 

Timed-entry passes to the museum, the newest on the National Mall, are snapped up almost as quickly as they become available.

 

During the outing, the first ladies stopped at an interactive video exhibit about the Greensboro, North Carolina, lunch counter where blacks staged sit-ins in the 1960s to protest the lack of civil rights.

 

They also visited a large waterfall display called the "Contemplative Court."
