WASHINGTON- In
celebration
of
the
upcoming
grand
opening
of
the
National
Museum
of
African
American
History
and
Culture,
Senators
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
and
Cory
Booker
(D-NJ),
spoke
to
CBS
“This
Morning”
co-host
Charlie
Rose
about
their
personal
experiences,
as
well
as
their
vision
of
the
future
of
race
relations
in
America.
When
asked
about
what
the
museum
means
to
him,
Scott
said,
“It
does
seem
to
be
necessary
for
us
to
remind
ourselves
of
where
we’ve
been.
I
hope
that
one
of
the
beauties
of
the
museum
being
here,
will
be
an
understanding
and
appreciation
of
the
depth
of
the
pain,
agony,
and
tragedy
of
slavery.
I
hope
that
the
weight
of
the
past
will
slow
your
gait
and
bow
your
head.
And
as
you
walk
out
here,
I
hope
that
the
sense
of
freedom
and
a
sense
of
expectations
will
overwhelm
you.
And
that
you
feel
individually
responsible
for
making
America
the
most
amazing
country
for
every
single
citizen
in
our
land.”
