Published | Video Starts at 00:57

For nearly 200 years, since its inception in the 1800s, the House Press Gallery has always been named just that, very blandly, the Press Gallery. Neither the House Gallery nor the Senate Gallery has ever borne the name of any American in the history of this institution. That, of course, changes today with the historic unveiling of the Frederick Douglass Press Gallery. Frederick Douglass, as you know, is an extraordinary American. (00:57–01:04)
