Abstract
espanolSi la historia de la comunidad afroamericana ha sido una de resistencia (a la esclavitud, la discriminacion o la violencia racista), un museo sobre su historia no podia sino simbolizar esa actitud. Ubicado frente al monumento a George Washington (esclavista que abolio la esclavitud), el color, la forma y la materialidad del edificio manifiestan una resistencia consciente opuesta al blanco neoclasico de las construcciones de la capital de Estados Unidos. EnglishIf the history of the African American community has been one of resistance (to slavery, discrimination or to racist violence), a museum about their history could not but to symbolize that condition. Located in front of the monument to George Washington (slaver who abolished slavery), the building’s color, shape and materials showcase a conscious resistance confronting the neoclassical white of the buildings in the capital of the United States.
