But first, living history.

Cities in all 50 United States yesterday were the sites of protests against police brutality

and racial inequality.

And many of those cities saw more people than in any of the prior days.

Among them was Washington, D.C., where the Washington Post estimates that 2,000 folks waved signs,

marched, and at one point took a moment of silence.

But one place that no one in D.C. went yesterday, not a protester or a tourist or a resident,

was the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, which over

six million people have visited since it opened in 2016. The physical building is closed,

as are the rest of the Smithsonian's facilities due to the coronavirus pandemic. So while history

is being made outside its walls, the museum itself must wait to let people in. But its staff is

certainly watching, collecting, and analyzing, as historians do. At some point, our children and grandchildren

will benefit from that work. But today, I want to go deeper on what the museum is trying to do

today and to put this moment into context with Lonnie Bunch, founding director of the museum

and current secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. We'll do that in 20 seconds.
