WASHINGTON Cedric Portugal Jersey , May 31 (Xinhua) -- A noose was found Wednesday inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture in downtown Washington D.C., the second time in less than a week that a noose was left at one of the Smithsonian museums.


"The noose has long represented a deplorable act of cowardice and depravity -- a symbol of extreme violence for African Americans," said Lonnie Bunch, the director of the African American history museum.


"Today's incident is a painful reminder of the challenges that African Americans continue to face...We will continue to help breach the chasm of race that has divided this nation since its inception," said Bunch.


The U.S. Park Police were called to the museum and the noose, which had been found in an exhibition on segregation, was quickly removed afterwards Bruno Fernandes Portugal Jersey , said museum officials.
