US President Barack Obama has opened a new museum about the African-American experience in Washington DC.

Speaking on Friday, he said the new museum would educate Americans about the history of the racial tensions seen during protests over police killings of black men.
"As a people, we've rightfully passed on the tales of the giants who built this country," Mr Obama said during his weekly address to the American people.
"But too often, wilful or not, we've chosen to gloss over or ignore entirely the experience of millions upon millions of others." |
