At the end of her performance of "A Change is Gonna Come" at the opening ceremony of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, singer Patti Labelle snuck in a presidential endorsement.

Most of the event, however, was beyond politics. President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama joined each other onstage and acknowledged each other's efforts to ensure the museum's presence on the National Mall.

The museum opened its doors on Saturday, officially joining the Smithsonian.
