The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is a powerful symbol of African American resilience and contribution to American society, as highlighted in the podcast episodes.

In the episode "Lonnie Bunch And The 'Museum Of No'", Lonnie G. Bunch III, the first African American Secretary of the Smithsonian, shares the story behind the creation of the NMAAHC and his vision for the museum as a place to honor and preserve African American history.

The episode "Honoring My Enslaved Ancestors, Part One" explores how the NMAAHC provides a space for descendants of enslaved people to gather and discuss ways of honoring their ancestors' legacies, such as preserving burial grounds and spending time in former slave dwellings.
