Description
“Seamlessly weaves the personal and political work that went into envisioning, planning, funding,
building, and opening the museum.― —Library Journal, starred review 'Like the Smithsonian National
Museum of African American History itself, its inaugural directorâ€s memoir tells a challenging and
ultimately inspiring story of struggle, perseverence, and uplift.' --Booklist “One reads here a great
historian reaching for the nitty gritty and the mountain tops of American history in ways that end much
better than Albion Tourgéeâ€s ‘foolâ€s errand.â€â€• —David W. Blight “This fascinating
memoir provides the crucial institutional history that NMAAHC so richly deserves.― —Henry Louis Gates
Jr.  “America owes Bunch a debt for creating the museum, now we are in his debt, again, for this
elegant story of triumph.― —Scott Pelley  “A fascinating depiction of a dreamer and his destiny as he
works faithfully to bring to fruition a home not just for artifacts, but finally a resting place of memory and
spirit.― —Angela Bassett  “In this engaging and candid book, Lonnie Bunch enables us to understand
how he and a community of coworkers and supporters created a twenty-first century museum of which all
Americans can be proud.― —Eric Foner  “This stirring tale of a labor of love should be read by
anyone and everyone who wants to understand how to fight for representation of that which matters most.―
—Darren Walker  “In A Foolâ€s Errand Lonnie Bunch memorializes the fulfillment of a long
overdue undertaking.― —Congressman James E. Clyburn  “[Bunch] has brought to life a magnificent
museum.― —William S. Cohen  “This book begins like a mystery, unfolds like a thriller, and ends
like a romance novel of love for a people whose heritage has been hostage to hostility and ignorance. Lonnie
Bunch led in creating a monumental institution that will stand the test of time.― —Michael Eric Dyson
