Richard Hunt was a titan among sculptors who created colossal works of art that challenge us to mine the depths of spirituality to find solace & strength, resilience & resolve. His work will continue to keep the message of healing and deliverance alive for generations to come.

Reading number 400: Errata by Kevin Young @NMAAHCdirector
Sixty years ago, thousands gathered for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The leadership and organizing powers of A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin and Dorothy Height were key as the march drew people from communities around the U.S. to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Song. Spirituality. Style. Story. These objects from our collection – some of which once belonged to Harriet Tubman – speak to what @NMAAHCdirector loves most about our museum. Which objects from our collection speak to you?
To every individual, every family, each small or large group, each community who has made the trip to our museum to learn, engage, challenge, dialogue, celebrate and absorb – we see you, and we thank you. #ANationsStory #APeoplesJourney
