NewsChannel5's Carrie Sharp talked with Romello Smith from the museum about how it's commemorating the holiday.
"At 10:00 AM, we'll open our museum to the public so anyone can walk inside out museum, and at 12:00 PM we'll be showing an exclusive documentary screening "Through Their Words" - how their voiced became policy and policy became process."
