(07-18-2020, 06:11 AM)The Real Marty Wrote: The museum has taken down the poster.

"Museum officials apologized and removed the material, which had been online since May 31, saying it did not contribute to the discussion as planned, interim director Spencer Crew said Friday."

“The whole idea behind the portal is how do we give tools to people to have these conversations that are vital to moving forward. This was one of those tools,” Crew said. “We have found it’s not working in the way we intended. We erred in including it.”

No admission of the fact that it was highly racist.

Admission that it was intended to influence "conversations".

I thought the purpose of a museum was to preserve and display history, not create it.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
