The Smithsonian Institution has a long history as an iconic museum and hub of research, knowledge, and history in our Nation’s Capital and beyond. Nowadays, the Smithsonian has grown to encompass 21 museums, 40 research centers and the National Zoo. It’s the world’s largest education and research community - and now they are working with communities across the country, collaborating with rural America, and giving back.  Andy Mink is their first director of rural initiatives and he joins the show to share his vision of showcasing storytelling, belonging insecurity, and mutual respect.
