Throughout the week, “A Place for All People: Introducing the National Museum of African American History and Culture” will be on display in the hallways of the MSU Education Building. The commemorative poster exhibition celebrates the open of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture on Sept. 24, 2016.
