@itsbrandonboyd.bsky.social#LonnieBunch is stepping down as #Smithsonian Secretary. He says it’s not because of pressure from the #Trump admin, but the timing raises questions. Regardless, his #legacy is undeniable. He helped ensure that #BlackHistory is recognized as #AmericanHistory. Give Lonnie Bunch his flowers. #NMAAHC
@edmondfrost.bsky.socialSmithsonian Secretary Bunch's resignation highlights the consequences of Black voters who supported Trump in the 2024 election, overlooking dangers from the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 and prioritizing white nationalist agendas over their own history and culture. #NMAAHC
@amyalexca.bsky.socialFrom April 2026: #LonnieBunch talks w @agordonreed.bsky.social about US History, @smithsomag.bsky.social and how he contended with pressure from (my words) Idiot, Corrupt, Racist 47: “It was George W. Bush who said #NMAAHC should be on the mall.” — #LonnieBunch, 4/2026 www.c-span.org/program/amer...
