In 2016, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture was established on the National Mall. The museum’s design draws inspiration from Yoruban art of West Africa, featuring three-tiered crowns. To pay tribute to the ironwork created by enslaved African Americans, bronze-colored latticework accents are incorporated. Inside the museum, visitors can explore over 40,000 artifacts, such as photographs showcasing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists. The collection also includes boxing headgear and a robe used by Muhammad Ali, along with Michael Jackson’s former fedora.
