Late last year, not long after the museum opened, Edwards donated a collection of items relating to the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and urged curators to, well, put them on exhibit, ASAP.
"I said, 'Don't wait 50 years to try to get some memorabilia and so forth on Kaepernick,' " Edwards told USA TODAY Sports. " 'Let me give you a game jersey, some shoes, a picture ... And it should be put right there alongside Muhammad Ali. He's this generation's Ali.' "

Clarence Thomas is Not in New African American Museum
(https://conservativepoliticalforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnsnews.com%2Fs3%2Ffiles%2Fstyles%2Fcontent_30p%2Fs3%2Fclarence_thomas-ap_photo.jpg%3Fitok%3DOYa3G1Ok&hash=5b91e2063c78f02ce14b6c10f11ca8dfdfd5db71)
After touring the new museum and exploring the website, which contains information on all the exhibitions in it, CNSNews.com asked the Smithsonian why Thomas, Brooke and eight other prominent men and women are not included in the museum.
CNSNews.com asked: "Many prominent African Americans are not included in the museum, most notably Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ... Can [the institute say] why Thomas and the others listed below are not a part of the museum exhibits?"
Linda St. Thomas, chief spokesperson for the Smithsonian, replied:
"There are many compelling personal stories about African Americans who have become successful in various fields, and, obviously, Associate Justice Thomas is one of them," St. Thomas said in an email. "However, we cannot tell every story in our inaugural exhibitions.
"We will continue to collect and interpret the breadth of the African American experience," St. Thomas said.
The other African Americans not included in the museum, who are conservatives, are:
• Cora Brown, first African American woman elected to a United States state Senate, winning a seat in the Michigan State Senate in 1952.
The list goes on with other great black leaders, just not Marxists, like the museum prefers. :rolleyes:
