Decades-old, newly restored Smithsonian carousel reopens — to children’s delight

Denay Wilkerson and her son Cairo, 2, ride the newly restored Smithsonian National Carousel on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

The carousel was first desegregated when part of Gwynn Oak Amusement Park outside Baltimore in 1963. It was moved to the National Mall after the park closed.
