Founding Director Lonnie Bunch's deeply personal tale of the
triumphs and challenges of bringing the Smithsonian National Museum
of African American History and Culture to life. His story is by
turns inspiring, funny, frustrating, quixotic, bittersweet, and
above all, a compelling read. In its first four months of
operation, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American
History and Culture surpassed one million visits and quickly became
a cherished, vital monument to the African American experience. And
yet this accomplishment was never assured. In A Fool's Errand,
founding director Lonnie Bunch tells his story of bringing his
clear vision and leadership to bear to realize this shared dream of
many generations of Americans. Outlining the challenges of site
choice, architect selection, building design, and the compilation
of an unparalleled collection of African American artifacts, Bunch
also delves into his personal struggles--especially the stress of a
high-profile undertaking--and the triumph of establishing such an
institution without mentors or guidebooks to light the way. His
memoir underscores his determination to create a museum that treats
the black experience as an essential component of every American's
identity. This inside account of how Bunch planned, managed, and
executed the museum's mission informs and inspires not only readers
working in museums, cultural institutions, and activist groups, but
also those in the nonprofit and business worlds who wish to
understand how to succeed--and do it spectacularly--in the face of
major political, structural, and financial challenges.
