Happy Black History Month!
I’m Tyree. A public historian who specializes in curating Black History exhibitions in museums.
Seeing it’s February, I wanted to make a thread of the shows I’ve had the honor of curating for @CAAMinLA ✊🏾✨
“No Justice, No Peace: LA 1992.“ Opened In 2017.

Like enslavement, the breaking up of families was seen as Biblically sanctioned because Africans were seen as property and therefore should obey they white masters.
