Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US, celebrating the activist’s fight for racial equality in the 1960s. The National Park Service is working on rehabilitating historic buildings at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. Over the last few months, we have published various tenders for the National Park Service’s project to rehabilitate various historic buildings at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, including his birthplace. Yesterday, we highlighted a sources sought notice for the rehabilitation of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park visitor centre and headquarters building. These initiatives are not just about preserving a site but an effort to keep alive the stories of nonviolent activism and the struggle for civil rights. The National Park Service manages many sites of brutal violence and historic significance to the Civil Rights Movement, including the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument and the Freedom Riders National Monument in Alabama, keeping alive these stories of sacrifice and inspiration. In a parallel development, the Fermanagh & Omagh District Council in Northern Ireland is working to create a Peace Park in Omagh, County Tyrone, the site of the deadliest incident during The Troubles. This incident, a car bombing by an IRA splinter group in 1998, resulted in tragic loss of life and numerous injuries. Now, a proposed Peace Park is envisioned as a space of unity and remembrance, a testament to resilience in the face of violence. Both projects underscore the power of museums and heritage sites as spaces for reckoning with our pasts and healing. They serve as poignant reminders of our collective history, offering insights and tools for fostering dialogue around violent and traumatic histories while giving visitors space for their own experiences. We thought these two initiatives were both unique opportunities for museum and heritage sector professionals to engage in work that is not only about conservation but also about educating, reflecting, and healing.

Ten years ago today, I joined 9/11 family members, rescue and recovery workers, and survivors, to dedicate the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Today it stands as a permanent reminder of those killed, and the service, bravery, and compassion of those who stood together in unity during those dark hours. The 9/11 Memorial Museum preserves an essential moment in our history for future generations, ensuring that we will never forget. Join me in visiting the #911Museum, which will now offer free admission to New Yorkers on the first Monday of each month beginning June 3.

Arts education is indispensable for youth development due to its multifaceted benefits. It enhances cognitive abilities, fostering critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and memory retention. By nurturing creativity and innovation, it empowers students to approach challenges uniquely, a skill highly prized in our ever-changing world. Arts education provides a safe platform for self-expression, bolstering self-esteem and emotional intelligence, while also honing essential communication skills vital for personal relationships, academics, and future careers. Moreover, it fosters cultural awareness, tolerance, and empathy, contributing to a more inclusive and globally minded generation. It even correlates with improved academic performance, mental well-being, collaboration, and long-term cultural engagement, ensuring lifelong appreciation for the arts and transferable skills applicable across diverse professions. In essence, arts education is integral to shaping well-rounded individuals primed for success in various life domains, underpinning their intellectual, emotional, and social growth. CMCArts believes art should be accessible to everyone in our community.

Okay futurists and design thinking friends, here is another example of inspiring social imagination and your social geometry. The future must include multicultural/multiracial responsiveness. To do that we need to increase our epistemic fluency (ways of knowing). #Designthinking #ChristianBason #JosephWhittaker #LaurieHoes #ClaudetteWhiting #DanaMayer #JudySugg #AnupamNarayan #AlejandroGallard #JolynnShoemaker #ElizabethHoward #epistemicdevelopment #knowledgedevelopment

Curator of Art @ Barry Art Museum, PhD in American Studies from William & Mary | Examining Art Access, Outreach Exhibitions
Eight years ago, during my tenure as Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Roswell Museum, I started learning about federal community art centers, a remarkable New Deal initiative that remains one of the most expansive art-sharing programs in the history of the United States. Ever since I learned about this program, I've wanted to map its history digitally so that researchers could follow the movement of art exhibitions, observe the opening and closing of art centers, and trace the migrations of art center personnel as they were assigned to different sites. Today, I'm happy to share I've taken a first step toward this long-term goal by creating a StoryMap about federal community art centers. Here, I share all the information I've learned about them since 2016, from the addresses of specific sites to the contents of circulating exhibitions. This StoryMap, in short, represents eight years of ongoing research and analysis. More than a repository for my research though, this project is an invitation to other researchers interested in federal community art centers. I'm asking everyone interested in this initiative to share their data so we can compile all our research in one place. This program is too vast for one person to document, and I know there are others as passionate about it as I am. So let's get together and share our data. Together, we can document this significant but understudied initiative. #newdeal #digitalhumanities #federalcommunityartcenter https://lnkd.in/eenEHd_p

Interesting how museums have to adapt their narratives to the new demands and perspectives of their visitors, and how they need to always re-evaluate the contexts that generate those narratives. A good reminder of how museums are alive and interactive institutions and of how history is, at least in part, a construct. https://lnkd.in/gcMbnizS
ATLANTA, GA .- At a Holocaust museum in Atlanta, staff members had typically ended their tours by saying that many survivors of the death camps immigrated to the Palestinian territories.
