Mali's fabled city of Timbuktu on February 4 celebrated the recovery of its historic mausoleums, destroyed during an Islamist takeover of northern Mali in 2012 and rebuilt thanks to UN cultural agency UNESCO.

Comments Are Welcome

Note: We moderate submissions in order to create a space for meaningful dialogue, a space where museum visitors – adults and youth –– can exchange informed, thoughtful, and relevant comments that add value to our exhibits.

Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech. Commercial promotions, impersonations, and incoherent comments likewise fail to meet our goals, so will not be posted. Submissions longer than 120 words will be shortened.

See our full Comments Policy here.

    Every Beautiful Person on this wall has attempted to move our world to “the sweet bouquet of humanity” that it should be. I am so proud of everyone of you. Happy to join the wall!! I am hoping to organize a hands across America event, once the pandemic has moved on. I would love to see the bouquet of humanity hold hands across America so the world could see, we are attempting to overcome the HATE we were taught by ignorant people. So the world can see America is more than the ugly racist people who have put an ugly stain on the Statue of Liberty!! Only Love can conquer Hate!!!!
