TAKING THE STAGE: AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC AND STORIES THAT CHANGED AMERICA
January 12, 2017  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

In Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History was opened on Sept. 23, which is when this inaugural celebration special, filmed at the nearby Kennedy Center, was recorded. Tonight, a two-hour special built around that celebration, and a tour of the new African American museum, will be presented by ABC. I don’t know if this new African American museum will include an exhibit on the new missing hyphen in African American – but we’ll see. Common and Usher are among the performers attending.
