    This building, like the Smithsonian, reflects both the wonders and the reality of American life. While it's unclear what role enslaved people played in its construction, we know D.C. would look markedly different today were it not for Black labor.

    In May 1847, "a day of public rejoicing" followed the laying of the cornerstone of the Smithsonian Castle. It was an honor as the 14th Secretary to join friends and colleagues, such as Under Secretary for Museums and Culture Kevin Gover, to reenact this moment.

    Two men stand on the National Mall in front of the Smithsonian Castle. On left, Lonnie Bunch. On right, Kevin Gover. Both smile. Each holds a face mask in hand. It's a cloudy, grey day.

    Norman Mineta was a 10-year-old in California when his family was forced into a Wyoming incarceration camp. Later as a Congressman, Mineta was integral in securing an official apology for the incarceration of Japanese Americans in the years following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

    Painted half-length portrait of Norman Mineta with black-grey hair, grey suit, red tie, white collared shirt. He faces the viewer with a welcoming smile, one hand on top of the other. Around the margins of the painting, abstract blue paintbrush strokes. At bottom right, a small figurine or statue of a person and an animal, perhaps a horse.
    Today we remember Norman Mineta, the first Asian American to serve in a presidential cabinet. As Secretary of Transportation, he led transportation security on and after the 9/11 attacks. 2009 portrait by Everett Raymond Kinstler in :

    When one of my daughters attended and made childhood visits to the Peacock Room, I was lucky to experience it anew through her eyes. She was taken with Whistler's butterfly-style signature and began to sign her own artwork with a ladybug.

    As a college student in D.C., I often found peace and relief in 's Peacock Room, a dining room created by James McNeill Whistler to house a collection of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. Its beauty brings art of different origins together in sumptuous harmony.

    Room with large artwork depicting two dramatic gold peacocks on blue background. Gold shelves with blue green walls hold white and blue vases and other glassware.
