The museum in Washington, DC, opening in September, is set to include 11 exhibitions detailing black history and culture in America, and the Cosby section will be part of the "Taking the Stage" exhibition highlighting prominent entertainment figures.
Patricia Leary Steuer, who has accused Cosby of assault, told the New York Times, "If they just speak about the contributions, there will be this enormous presence that is not talked about."
According to the Times, the museum's direector, Lonnie G. Bunch, "has said he understands that, given the subject matter, not everyone will be happy with all of the curatorial decision-making."
Cosby has denied all allegations.
