Smithsonian to include 2 Cosby items in new history museum

The Smithsonian and Bill Cosby can’t seem to escape one another. After facing criticism for an exhibit of works from Cosby’s personal art collection, the Smithsonian plans to include two items related to Cosby at its new African-American history museum on the National Mall. There are no current plans to acknowledge the sexual-assault allegations against the comedian in the text accompanying the items, a Smithsonian spokeswoman said.
