While our initial phases of our exhibit were conducted under the guidance of our guest curator and local African American community leader Marvin Anderson, these phases were completed back in 2017, 2018, and April 2020.

This effort allowed us to confirm the general direction, while updating the content to reflect a greater interest in telling more complex, negative stories and a broader timeframe.
