Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
Three days and counting, until Timothy McVeigh is put to death for the Oklahoma City bombing.
He'll die by lethal injection Monday morning at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.
McVeigh made the decision to end efforts to save his life after a federal appeals court turned down his request for a stay of execution.
Meanwhile, he could be moved today from his cell at a federal prison to the execution building.

An empty space on the nation's front lawn, Congressman John Lewis
has been trying to fill.

(NARR: vo Lewis & Lee -- dissolve to footage of Selma/Birmingham

For 13 years he's heard all the excuses -- from not enough money, to
not enough interest.
But THIS YEAR instead of excuses, he's found bi partisan backers,
who agree a nation's MISTAKES should be remembered next to its TRIUMPHS.
(SOT/SEN. SAM BROWNBACK, R-KS 13:22:20)
"It was US government POLICY that slavery was allowed in America. It was
US government POLICY or state POLICIES that we had segregation in
America.(edit 13:27:37) You gotta face your past to build your future,
and this is a case where we need to do that as well."
(NARR:)
That future could begin here -- at the Smithsonian's Arts and
Industries Building -- a location Congress has to approve -- and private
donations would have to fund.
(COWAN ON CAM:11:09:18)
"But it's not just money the founders are looking for, it's collectibles
as well. In the absence of a NATIONAL Black History Museum -- many
African-American artifacts have fallen into private hands -- preserved
perhaps, but not for show."

Catalogued in his basement are countless letters and photos ---
newspapers, even books, --- including this: a rare copy of the first
autobiography of abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
His great great grandson is relieved it still exists -- an artifact
that speaks of the past, that needs a place to be heard.

African Americans have done..(edit//12:10:38) "then we can really start
