"Founding Director Lonnie Bunch's inside story of how the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture was created. By turns inspiring, funny, frustrating, quixotic, and bittersweet, this is his deeply personal tale of the challenges and rewards of bringing a nationally acclaimed new institution to life"--

#NovelNovember Update
🍁 Read The Last Story of Mina Lee. I wanted to know what was going to happen so I read this quickly!
🍁 Finished A Fool‘s Errand. This is such an interesting look into all aspects of creating the NMAAHC: staff, donors, artifacts, events, curators, architects, politicians, etc. I was moved by the founding director‘s stories and hard work in making this museum a reality.

ValerieAndBooks Looks interesting, stacking. I hope to visit next time I‘m in DC. The building had just opened the last time I was there. 3y
MallenNC I am definitely stacking the tagged book. My family and I went to the museum last year and it was a moving experience. And so well curated. 3y

mhillis @MallenNC It said in the book that people stay in the museum a long time. And the cafe is award winning too. I recently learned that Carla Hall is a culinary ambassador there! 3y

Wow. I had no idea how much had to be done to get the National Museum of African American History and Culture up and running. Glad I picked this one up!
