See what we’re chatting about over breakfast:
• The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African-American History wants to put Trayvon Martin’s black hoodie on display. The museum’s director, Lonnie Bunch, said the hoodie has become a national symbol. “It’s rare that you get one artifact that really becomes a symbol,” said Bunch. “Because it’s such a symbol, it would allow you to talk about race in the age of Obama.” The museum might be able to obtain the hoodie after the Justice Department finishes its investigation. The museum is scheduled to open in 2015. [Washington Times]

• Changes are coming to the upcoming season of NBC’s Parks and Rec. Actors Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe will be leaving the series in mid-season.
