National Museum of Jewish American History

The forthcoming National Museum of Jewish American History (a partner of the Smithsonian) is being built across the street from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.

The museum is making a gallery with ‘Only in America’ stories and they are asking the public for guidance on who to include. http://onlyinamerica.nmajh.org/

Isaac Asimov (to whom the White Institute’s former Director of Training,  Janet Jeppson Asimov had been married) is on the list under literature. The list has everyone from female Astronauts to Artists to politicians.

The public gets to weigh in on who will be included so letting people know they can vote for Isaac may likely be of interest to many of you.
