Each week American History TV's American Artifacts takes viewers into archives, museums and historic sites around the country. The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture will open a new building on the National Mall in 2015. American History TV spoke to Lonnie Bunch - the museum’s founding director – about the new facility. And later, we travel with Mr. Bunch to the museum’s storage site in a Washington, DC suburb, where he shows us some of the artifacts that will be on display in the new building.
