The First National Museum of African American History

Visiting a landmark museum, using art to demystify the past, what makes a 'good' immigrant?

The first National Museum of African American History has opened in Washington, more than 100 years after it was first proposed. Writer Tope Folarin visits the museum and reflects on its impact.

Also, what makes a 'good' immigrant? Writers Nikesh Shukla and Sabrina Mahfouz discuss an anthology of writing by British black, Asian and minority ethnic writers, Chilean artist Voluspa Jarpa explains the ideas behind her art exhibition made out of thousands of declassified CIA documents and Israeli director Elite Zexer discusses Sand Storm, her film which will be Israel's entry into this year's Oscars.

With Tina Daheley.
