President Donald Trump will participate in a separate private event at the new Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, Mississippi, on Saturday morning, rather than in the public ceremony. The decision came after the president’s plan to attend the opening erupted into controversy.
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the White House agreed to have a separate event after a series of noteworthy civil rights leaders and speakers decided to boycott the event and local groups planned to protest.
Trump will tour the museum and speak at a private program in the morning, and the public ceremony will begin afterward.
"I think this was a diplomatic effort that will help solve this issue," said Mike Espy, a former Mississippi congressman and secretary of agriculture who served since the early 2000s on the state’s committee to establish the museum.

I agree with you 100%. In the real world of Black Americans, they better come to the reality of life. Barack Hussein Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP and the entire Democrat Party was no friend, nor ally to American Blacks, ever!!!
Whether these Black American realize and believe it or not, POTUS, Donald J. Trump is the best friend and ally they have. They are fools to hide our leader in their hidden closet, instead of treating him as their President. These people, the “Obamabots/Clintonities, have no class, no dignity, no honor, no nothing.
Thank God many African-Americans do not stand with them, after they have all been used and used by their own so-called, “brothers & sisters”. POTUS, Trump should remainin Mississippi at the Civil Rights Museum American.
Blacks.....do not stand with criminal, haters or pervert Black brothers & sisters like, Alcee Hastings, Jesse Jackson, John Conyers, Rev, Jeremiah Wright, Maxine Waters, Fredrica Wilson, etc.
Yes, Trump should just ignore the entire event altogether, and stay home.
They should not bow down to left-wing intimidation like this. This is asinine. When you do this you legitimize their BS narrative.
I say go and dare them to shout you down. If they make a spectacle of themselves, all the better.
Indeed their ideas are like kids no matter how bad they are they still love them.
Then start singing the Star Spangled Banner.
