Another museum pitched for Mall, honoring ... everybody

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the National Mall to visit museums and monuments this past weekend to celebrate independence, but Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., says that there was one museum missing: the National Museum of American People. In an effort backed by nearly 150 ethnic and minority group organizations nationwide, Moran and Rep. John Duncan, R-Tenn., introduced legislation Thursday calling for a presidential commission to study the establishment of a national museum on immigration and migration next to the Capitol.

“It’s time to tell the story of all of the American people,” Moran said.
