A civil rights museum in Greensboro, N.C., rejected a request to visit from Donald Trump's campaign.
The International Civil Rights Center and Museum declined to have the Republican presidential nominee visit because of the campaign's list of demands, reports WFMY News 2. "We did not honor the request of the Donald Trump team because we thought they demonstrated, in their approach was disrespectful, so therefore we did not grant that request," said Early Jones, co-founder of the museum.
Jones called the campaign aggressive and rude to museum staff.
The campaign also asked for the museum to be closed for at least five hours to accommodate Trump, she said.
Jones said the museum does not provide special treatment to anyone.

Dexter Jackson didn't let a third place finish in the 2016 Mr. Olympia bring him down. The 47 year old bodybuilding legend went on to Spain and claimed first place in the Arnold Classic Europe which was held in Barcelona.
The victory gives Jackson his 9th Arnold Classic victory and a record setting 27th victory in a pro show. That's right no other pro bodybuilder has won more shows, not Arnold, not Haney, not Coleman, not Yates, not anybody. Congratulations to Dexter "The Blade" Jackson.
The top five finishers were:
1. Dexter Jackson
2. Big Ramy
3. William Bonac

The United States Postal Service has revealed designs for several U.S. stamps that will be issued in 2017. One of those stamps will commemorate the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Celebrations for the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture were underway as news of this planned forever stamp was revealed. The museum, on the National Mall, opened to the public with a dedication ceremony on the morning of Sept. 24
Established by an Act of Congress in 2003, the museum is described as the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African-American life, history, and culture.
“The National Museum of African American History and Culture will be a place where all Americans can learn about the richness and diversity of the African American experience, what it means to their lives and how it helped us shape this nation,” the museum notes.
The stamp is based on a photograph of the museum by Alan Karchmer showing a view of the northwest corner of the building. USPS art director Antonio Alcala designed the stamp.
After police shootings of black men there are often marches by civil rights groups, local and national activist such as Black Lives Matter, and the clergy, but what good do they do?
