Wal-Mart donated $5 million Tuesday to help build the Smithsonian Institution’s planned National Museum of African American History and Culture on the National Mall.
The gift makes the world’s largest retailer one of the project’s “founding donors” who have given more than $1 million.
“This opens the door for even more corporations to give money and give support,” Bunch said of Wal-Mart’s gift. “We’re looking for entities that care about questions of diversity and education in America’s history.”
