I speak of lynching a lot when it comes to professional spaces. It triggers some people, but there are numerous parallels to the atrocities that occurred during the US Civil Rights Movement and what continues to occur in supposed professional spaces. I use this word because no one goes to work to get slaughtered. Employees expect to be safe or at least move through an equitable process that allows them to share their truths and seek justice when rules aren't followed. Some points I've observed: 1. People who lynch people in professional spaces think they will not be punished for their actions, otherwise the wouldn’t attempt to be so evil. 2. Systems often uphold the heinous acts of harm against employees despite evidence that confirms a workplace lynching has occurred. 3. People who witness lynchings at work often remain silent for fear of retaliation or harm to them in the same way someone was lynched. I define professional lynchings and other terms in this popular 2023 #StopPlayingDiversity podcast episode. Stay safe in these workplace streets, friends. https://lnkd.in/gH8Cc2Eu

April is Genocide Awareness and Prevention month. The Museum of Us, like other museums and related institutions, holds massive amounts of cultural resources and ancestral remains from Indigenous communities. Many 20th century museums and researchers believed that Indigenous cultures were “disappearing” and needed to be preserved and studied. This belief ignored the history of genocide and removal of Indigenous peoples from their ancestral homelands by colonists and the U.S. government from the 1600’s into the present. This narrative of “vanishing” or “extinction” presents Indigenous cultures and communities as peoples of the past–continuing the silencing and erasure of their humanity.
