President-elect Donald Trump has scrapped a plan to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Day after his comments disparaging U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights hero who worked closely with King and who has been closely involved with the museum.

ABC and other outlets reported the Republican president-elect's change in plans; his transition team cited a scheduling conflict and says he plans to visit the museum at another time.
