DOR Culture Club JUL/SUN 2021 - VIRTUAL

After this past year of racial unrest, many museums in the United States are being forced to account for their artifacts and collections that were stolen from Africa centuries ago. At the same time, museums that exist to tell the history of African American communities are facing a crisis of funding. Join us this month as we unpack how both of these ongoing issues impact our shared culture.

Participants are asked to read the following articles which will be used to start the conversation:

• "If U.S. museums say Black Lives Matter, then they should return Africa’s stolen art"

• "Black history is vital to understanding racial injustice. But the museums holding that history are under threat"
