'Duck Dynasty' update: Willie officially opens Museum of the Bible, Korie's biracial son victim of white supremacists
"Duck Dynasty" stars had the privilege to visit the new Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., before it officially opened last Friday, Nov. 17. The Robertson family has been known to end their every episode with a prayer, so it is not surprising they got invited.
"I can't wait to see it," Willie Robertson said in an interview with USA Today Network. As he has studied things about the Bible, seeing the museum gives him a "three-dimensional experience."
Willie visited the Museum of the Bible on Thursday, Nov. 16, a day before the place opened. He was with his wife Korie, his brother Jase, and the latter's spouse Missy. They, too, graced the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
The 430,000-square museum is founded by the Hobby Lobby President Steve Green, who is said to be Willie and Korie's personal friend. The place carries a Smithsonian-style facility with 1,600 items resting in an eight-floor building. The place features different biblical collections from Israel Antiquities Authority and Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem and the Vatican.
Meanwhile, the former "Duck Dynasty" star Korie is complaining of the racial problems she and her family are experiencing from the white supremacists. This involves her adopted biracial son.
In an interview with CBN News, Korie said people should stand up against racism. They, too, should be sensitive about it and openly talk about the issue.
As "Duck Dynasty" had hit the small screen and conquered the mainstream, they were evidently watched by a lot of people in the America. As viewers noticed the difference between their biracial son, Korie complained they started to receive a lot of negative comments, hate, and disapproval.
"We were actually targeted by white supremacists at one point," she said. As they personally experience it, it makes Korie sad, shocked, and scared, that it is still happening it the country.
