About this event
Using Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s notion of the “Beloved Community” as a lens through which to examine the idea of heritage sites, museums and cultural centers as Centers of “Social Justice” in communities, this conversation is prompted by
the new Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Lonnie Bunch’s statement, “the role of cultural institutions is to make people “feel comfortable with nuance and complexity.”
