The museum reached capacity and more than 1,000 people waited outside as severe weather delayed Trump’s speech and fireworks, NBC News reported.

  • On Independence Day, severe thunderstorms in Washington forced thousands of attendees at President Donald Trump's Freedom 250 celebration to seek shelter, with many packing into the African American Museum as weather moved through the capital.
