The $250,000,000 Mission to Preserve Black History
Lonnie Bunch’s mission includes raising $250 million in donations from corporations, foundations, and individuals for the museum, and mining the world for artifacts that will represent the “wide arc of history—slavery, Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Migrations to the North and West, segregation, the civil rights movement and beyond, including issues of the 21st century.â€
