Reflections with Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution

Museums are the classrooms of our country. They play a crucial role in helping us understand the nation’s complex past. Join us for a dynamic conversation with Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists, as they reflect on the significance of the 250th anniversary of the United States. At a moment in which discussions about our shared past and collective future feel especially urgent, this event offers an opportunity to learn from a leader who has devoted his career to informing and inspiring Americans to strive for the public good.

Q & A will follow and copies of Secretary Bunch's book A Fool's Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush, Obama, and Trump will be available for purchase.
