He'll start June 16. The founding director of our @NMAAHC, Bunch brings a reputation for compelling scholarship and visionary leadership. "It is important for the public to view the Smithsonian not simply as an attic of nostalgia but as a cauldron of ideas, innovation and understanding that could be transformative for America," he said at today's announcement. Bunch is the first African American to serve as Secretary of the Smithsonian. He is also the first historian elected Secretary and the first museum director to ascend to Secretary in 70 years. He succeeds David Skorton, who is leaving the Smithsonian to become president and CEO of the Association of American Medical Colleges.」5月29日 4時39分
