Born in 1936 in Washington DC, John Robert Edward Kinard would become the first African American director of a Smithsonian museum at the age of 31. Kinard would serve as the founding director of the Anacostia Community Museum, when it opened as the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum in the former Carver Theater on Nichols Avenue in September of 1967.
