African-American history along the Journey Through Hallowed Ground is expected to have more visibility over the next few years.

“African-American history is worth knowing regardless of who you are or what your interest is,” says Horton, who served as a historian at the National Museum of American History-Smithsonian Institution.

“African-American history is American history. And it’s made by Americans in America,” Horton said. “So if you want to understand the nation you can’t understand the nation by removing important aspects, important portions of the history.”
