Biden signs bill that creates panel to study possible National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture
CNN
President Joe Biden on Monday signed what he described as "long overdue" legislation that could help establish a National Museum of Asian American and Pacific Islander History and Culture.
"It's about time for a national museum to capture the courage, the character, and the imagination ... the dreams and the heart and the soul of the generations of our fellow Americans who came before you," Biden said ahead of signing the Commission To Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture Act into law.
The bill will examine how to make the museum a reality and whether to make it part of the Smithsonian Institution, he said, describing it as a "similar process" to that of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
