Join us while Lonnie Bunch will deliver the keynote speech, “Public History and the Challenge of Building a National Museum.” In his address, Bunch will present the history and struggle to create the Smithsonian NMAAHC, focusing on challenges such as building on the National Mall, conceptual frameworks, public expectations, and contextual terrain of race. He will discuss the strategies used to successfully navigate these issues and update the audience on the status and future projections for the museum. In closing, Bunch will explain how the museum will facilitate the transition of the Smithsonian from a 19th-century institution to a 21st-century enterprise.
