Abstract
The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., USA, is the ‘“world’s largest museum, education, and research complex’” (Smithsonian Institution, 2021). You may think of it as a must-see tourist attraction when in the USA, rather than a ‘dark destination.’. Yet, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery houses a collection about the ‘Scottsboro Boys,’, who were involved in an infamous death penalty case marred with racial discrimination and multiple wrongful convictions. This chapter discusses the case of the Scottsboro Boys as exhibited by the National Portrait Gallery, and the concerning trend of history repeating itself through the modern-day death penalty in the USA.
