Bunch III will tell his story of building the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The discussion will outline the challenges of site choice, architect selection, building design, and the compilation of an unparalleled collection of African American artifacts. Secretary Bunch will also share his personal struggles—especially the stress of a high-profile undertaking—and the triumph of establishing a museum that treats the African American experience as an essential component of every American's identity. NIMH established the Director's Innovation Speaker Series to encourage broad, interdisciplinary thinking in the development of scientific initiatives and programs, and to press for theoretical leaps in science over the continuation of incremental thought.
