"Slavery is Embedded in Everything" Says The Smithsonian's Lonnie Bunch | Amanpour and Company

Lonnie Bunch has spent his career reckoning with America’s troubled past. He is the first African American--and the first historian--to oversee the Smithsonian Institution– the world’s largest museum complex. Before taking on that role last year, he led the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. One of its exhibit rooms tells the tragic story of Emmett Till and his brutal murder in 1955. Bunch speaks with Walter Isaacson about curating a response to this historic uprising.

Originally aired on June 19, 2020.
