African American History Museum Will Mention Sexual Assault Accusations Against Bill Cosby
Breaking Newstags: National Museum of African American History, African American History Museum, NMAAHC
Did the National Museum of African American History and Culture buckle under pressure after several of Bill Cosby's accusers expressed their displeasure at finding out that items celebrating Cosby's career would be on display at the new museum?
Possibly so, because now although the items will still be on display, the museum now says that it'll show the good and bad of Cosby.
Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that an exhibit honoring Cosby's achievements would be on display in the new museum, which is slated to open in September. But accusers also wanted the museum to recognize the fact that allegations of sexual assault and drugging play a role in Cosby's life, also.
