Afrocentric History Museums: Shall We Start an Afrocentric Museum Resistance Movement‪?‬ AASLH

History museums in the U.S. and beyond still interpret predominantly white histories. This session presents museums in United States, Canada, and Brazil working from an Afrocentric lens, and the many challenges faced, from denialism to political pressure, barriers to community engagement to lack of funding. Could an Afrocentric museum resistance movement help?
