I love that there have been so many panels at #aaslh2020 filled w/ BIPOC.

I'm also uncomfortable with questions being asked to these panels about "how can my institution consider race / achieve equity, etc.?"

This is a great first step, but also these issues can't be solved in a couple of mins or with a single question.

I'm glad this is a priority that's on people's minds, and I don't want to shame the asking.

But also this work requires long term commitment and investment. #aaslh2020 /3

Excited to kick off #AASLH2020 day 2 with another great panel on community engagement!
I LOVE when people start by telling us how their thinking about their panel has shifted. Because let's be real - this always happens. I love when people lean into this. #AASLH2020
Goal of panel: to radically re-think what it is museums have to offer communities; how can organizations better support communities. Hoping that audience will feel inspired and empowered to take a risk to make change #AASLH2020

Excited to learn from some amazing women during the first #aaslh2020 panel: #MeToo, and #BlackLivesMatter: Black Women Leaders Overcoming the Double Burden
@OEatonMartinez reminds us to get in good trouble, necessary trouble, along with taking time to #saytheirnames. Especially poignant this morning after the #BreonnaTaylor decision last night. #AASLH2020
Only 4% of museum leadership is women of color!! @HistoryGonWrong sharing statistics about the very low number of women of color in museum fields.
