Sidedoor: Cars, Stars, and Rock ‘n’ Roll

You don’t need to be a time traveler to know that the past creates the future. Spend some time with Secretary Bunch as he shares stories of how history inspires us today.

Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III is no administrative assistant. He’s the head of the largest museum, education, and research complex in the world. He’s also the first historian to lead the Smithsonian. In our season finale, we talk with Secretary Bunch about two stories of people overcoming tremendous obstacles to make a change and explore what the past can teach us about today…and tomorrow.

 

Secretary Bunch records this episode of Sidedoor with Nathalie Boyd, associate producer, and Sidedoor host and producer Lizzie Peabody.
