First African American to Lead the Smithsonian Institution

The huge Smithsonian Institution is getting a new leader soon — the first insider and African American. Lonnie Bunch, the founding director of the Smithsonian's popular National Museum of African American history and culture in Washington, will become the new secretary June 16. As we hear from VOAs Deborah Block, Bunch says the Smithsonian should be a place to help everyone understand a diverse America.
