==Personal life and education==
Lonnie Bunch III was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1952.〔 He grew up in Belleville, New Jersey, where they were the only African-American family in their neighborhood. His grandfather, a former sharecropper, moved into the area, as one of the first black dentists in the region,〔 and Bunch's father and mother were school teachers.〔 As a child, he experienced racism from white teenagers in his neighborhood.
Bunch credits his childhood experiences with local Italian immigrants and his reading of biographies as a youth as inspiring him to study history. Bunch wanted to give a voice to those who were "anonymous" or not written about. In 2011 Bunch reflected on the early exposures: “I was in junior high and we were reading biographies of historic figures. I remember one on Gen. ‘Mad’ Anthony Wayne, and one on Clara Barton and Dorothea Dix. I thought, ‘Were there no histories of black people?’ One day, I was going through my grandfather’s trunk and I found a book about black soldiers in the First World War. I devoured it.”
Bunch met Maria Marable-Bunch in graduate school. They would eventually marry.〔http://www.american.edu/americanmagazine/features/20110222-Lonnie-Bunch-founding-director-smithsonian-museuem-of-african-american-history-and-culture.cfm〕〔http://www.loyola.edu/academic/aaas/news-events/bunch.aspx〕 The couple has two daughters.〔''Ebony'' Magazine, July 2001, Volume 56# 9.〕
