Museums cannot be community centers, but they can be at the center of their community. - Felicia Bell referring to recent words by @SmithsonianSec. #AASLH2020
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
Only 4% of museum leadership is women of color!! @HistoryGonWrong sharing statistics about the very low number of women of color in museum fields. #AASLH2020
