On Wednesday, the museum hosted a lecture called African American Women s Activism in Historical Practice, which highlighted objects related to African American women’s history in the Smithsonian collections.
The event focused on African American women’s activism and contributions in historical perspective.
Four speakers, including Dr. Aleia Brown, Assistant Director of the African American History, Culture and Digital Humanities Initiative at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, explored an interesting aspect of African American women’s activism through an extended discussion of one or two objects.
“Even in such a short time it was running, inches of water was flowing over the museum school, the lobby and the offices, said Dr. Doug Roberts, Chief Public Experience Officer for the museum.
After that, Roberts said it turned to survival and cleaning up what they could until North Texas thawed out. The museum, which still had electricity, even opened up its doors for staff who didn’t have electricity and needed at least a warm place to stay.
Luckily, precious fossils and other historical artifacts were saved. Visiting hours are still temporarily suspended but the hope is to open up parts of the building soon.
