The Smithsonian’s Museum of African-America History just got hip! The Smithsonian received a donation of artifacts from the TV show “Soul Train.” The items donated included the “Applause” signs, the 10-foot-wide neon “Soul Train” sign, silver African heads from the awards program and the Scramble Board; on which dancers unscrambled word puzzles quickly.
The donation came just in time to celebrate the show’s 40th anniversary, which first aired in 1971. It was one of the longest-running nationally syndicated programs in television history.
