As Smithsonian Secretary, Lonnie Bunch was trusted to be a steward of our stories. He became their greatest champion.

The Trump White House wants you to call ICE whenever you see a Black or brown truck driver in America.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT racially profile random drivers – who may or may not be undocumented – just because Donald Trump told you to.
Blessed to celebrate Caribbean culture and community alongside all my favorite people at the West Indian American Day Parade!
Thank you to everyone who marched with us on Eastern Parkway for making Carnival 2026 such an unforgettable experience and roaring success!
Happy Labor Day, Brooklyn! Today, I am proud to honor and celebrate the countless workers who make the America we know possible. For their contributions to our economy, for their role in our communities, for their decency, dedication, and determination, they will always have my
As Smithsonian Secretary, Lonnie Bunch was trusted to be a steward of our stories. He became their greatest champion.
Secretary Bunch’s legacy will be felt throughout the Smithsonian Institution, but especially within the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which his leadership, advocacy, and vision was essential to founding.
While there is much to express our gratitude for, above all, I thank him for remaining committed to the truth of our history despite the wishes of many powerful people who preferred he hadn’t, and I congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
