The man who fought for over a decade to build the National Museum of African American History and Culture is stepping down from the Smithsonian entirely. Lonnie Bunch, the institution's first Black Secretary, announced his resignation days after the White House threatened to cut federal cooperation unless leadership changed. He insists the decision was his own timing, not political pressure, though he admitted the constant scrutiny "has been stressful." His exit comes as the Trump administration continues pushing to reshape how American history, including slavery and race, gets told across Smithsonian exhibits.
