Lonnie G. Bunch at The NMAAHC … Look at what we’ve already accomplished together

Your generous support as a friend of the Museum helped to make 2014 a truly amazing year for the National Museum of African American History and Culture…

… as our beautiful building on the National Mall began to take shape … our collection of historical and cultural artifacts increased to more than 29,900 objects … and excitement grew nationwide for our 2016 Grand Opening.

please help keep our momentum growing in the year ahead by making a donation for 2014 today.

When the Museum opens its doors, it will be a beacon of learning, inspiration and reconciliation. It will tell the stories and celebrate the achievements of the African Americans who shaped our nation’s history — from well-known figures like civil rights icon Rosa Parks and Chuck Berry who donated his 1973 Cadillac to not-so-famous heroes like Henry Ossian Flipper, a former slave who became the first African American to graduate from West Point. It will bring the African American experience to life and enrich the cultural heritage of every American.

You can take pride in our progress toward making the National Museum of African American History and Culture a reality. Please help us continue that progress in 2015 by making a special year-end gift of $50, $100 or more.

Thank you again for your vision and leadership as a friend of the Museum.

All the best,

Lonnie G. Bunch
Founding Director
