I just got back into D.C. and am catching up on email and other business. I just heard about this event tomorrow at the National Archives — a conversation between the head of the archives and the director of the Smithsonian’s new museum of African American History and Culture:

Washington, DC…On Tuesday, December 13, 2005, at 7 p.m. the National Archives presents an “American Conversation” between Lonnie Bunch, founding director of the new National Museum of African American History and Culture, and Professor Allen Weinstein, Archivist of the United States. This free public program will be the second in a new National Archives series of informal discussions on American history and society, titled “American Conversations.”
