Book Synopsis
A powerful reflection on the first ten years of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture through the stories of its most iconic and poignant objects. Marking the 10th anniversary of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, this richly illustrated volume chronicles the building of one of the most significant cultural collections in the world. Featuring essays by the museum's founding curators and leadership--including Kevin Young, Lonnie Bunch, and Michèle Gates Moresi--the book offers a behind-the-scenes look at how a collection rooted in African American life, history, and culture was built from the ground up. Organized into five thematic chapters--Everyday Life, Iconic Objects, Treasures, Pivotal Moments, and Living History--the book highlights extraordinary objects and the equally extraordinary stories of the donors who shared them. From Harriet Tubman's personal belongings (including her clothing and household items) and Nat Turner's Bible to Trayvon Martin's hoodie and the P-Funk Mothership, the collection bridges centuries of Black experience, creativity, resistance, and joy. With contributions from over 30 curators, scholars, and artists, the volume weaves personal narratives and historical insight, while image galleries showcase stunning objects and artifacts, each with its own cultural resonance.About the Author
