A noose was found hanging at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday the second noose to be found on Smithsonian grounds this week.
Museum officials condemned the act as a symbol of hatred.
“Our museum is a place of learning and solace, a place to remember, to reflect and to engage in important discussions that help change America,” Lonnie Bunch, founding director of the museum, wrote on Twitter.
