We're a team made up of #Indy residents & cultural sector professionals. We’re deeply aware that white supremacy in museums—& in this city—is a rooted, pervasive vice. That's why it's so important to spotlight these inequities & amplify the voices & efforts of our colleagues.
These include the voices of—Kelli Morgan, Chaédria LaBouvier, @AndreaMontielS, the teams behind #MuseumsAreNotNeutral ( @artstuffmatters @murawski27), @museumhue ( @stephacunning @monica_muses) & #MuseumsRespondtoFerguson ( @CollardStudies & @adriannerussell), @MuseumWorkers & more
