10/17/17 review of speech by Dr. Lonnie Bunch about the NMAAHC

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a lecture Dr. Lonnie Bunch gave about the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of African American History and Culture at the Denver Art Museum in 2017.

The thread gives a summary of the speech and some context on the NMAAHC and Dr. Bunch's role as its founder. The thread discusses some of the themes of Dr. Bunch's speech, such as the historical struggle to get an African American history museum, its eventual approval, and the way the community provided artifacts for the museum. The thread also discusses Dr. Bunch's passion and how he built trust with communities all around the world. The thread discusses the NMAAHC's architecture and the impact the museum has already had on many people's lives.
