It's official - the African American Museum in Philadelphia will have a new home! Thanks to all of our partners for their support on this move. We're excited for this journey and can't wait to be a part of Philadelphia's historic Ben Franklin Parkway. inquirer.com/news/philadelp…

"The museum is neither the structure nor the objects therein, the community is the museum hence community museums." - Joshua Chikozho in African Museums in the Making about community museums in Zimbabwe, 2015.

This is MAJOR in the arts and museums. If you aren't able to commit to dismantling white supremacy and say that, don't bother me with your "inclusion" shenanigans/white supremacy techniques.

I want more emphasis on communication skills when hiring museum workers. There are so many communication problems that arise because of people's refusal to do certain tasks just because they don't want to. That's not how this is supposed to work!

Digital vs print images: Always print the photos you want to preserve. A digital image requires equipment in order to access it which will become obsolete over time, a print you will always be able to see. 🖼️ #AskAConservator #AskAConservatorDay

They painted BLM instead of defunding the police, clapped for essential workers instead of raising the wage, and made Juneteeth a holiday instead of making sure Black folks can vote. Always a symbolic victory instead of a material change.

Making museums antiracist, antioppressive requires removing oppressive leadership & boards. Funding models & organizational structures must change too. The preferred diversity trainings response from management maintains the status quo. It's a cover-up job. #MuseumsAreNotNeutral
