Smithsonian Carousel Reopens After 3-Year Restoration, Honoring Civil Rights History
The Smithsonian Institution's historic carousel reopened Friday on the National Mall after nearly three years of restoration. The carousel, originally from Gwynn Oak Amusement Park outside Baltimore, holds special significance as it was desegregated on Aug. 28, 1963 — the same day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his 'I Have A Dream' speech. Sharon Langley, who was the first Black child to ride that day as an infant, rode again at the reopening on a horse called Freedom Rider.
