An important survey...
Writer, poet, speaker; equity, diversity & inclusion consultant. Co-director of The Inclusion Agency.
There's still time to have a say, until the end of the month: Is your cultural heritage misrepresented by British museums? Are you represented in them at all? Do you want to be a part of how the cultural heritage of racially minoritised people is presented and communicated, with respect and celebration? Then this is your time to have a say! The UnMuseum Project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is an exploration into what a cultural heritage space would look like if it was built by and for Black and Racially Minoritised communities in the South West of England. With you, we want to change the landscape of cultural heritage in our region, but to do so we need your voices! This survey is a chance for you to shape how your people's histories and cultures are represented in a dedicated Centre for Black and Brown Culture - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Take a few minutes from your day to help change the future of the South West! https://lnkd.in/eChWSFQJ

Executive Director, African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund & Senior Vice President, National Trust for Historic Preservation
Historic preservation bridges the gap between space and time, allowing us to stand where history was made and feel its lingering presence. Washington-Rosenwald Schools are more than just structures; they are monuments to Booker T. Washington’s transformative vision and Julius Rosenwald’s belief in the power of education to uplift Black communities in the face of systemic inequality. Walking into that fragile schoolhouse, hearing the creak of the floorboards, and seeing sunlight filter through broken windows—those sensations are reminders of the resilience, determination, and hope that defined the children and educators who once filled that space. At the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, we are driven by this very purpose: to ensure that such places of profound significance are not lost to decay but are preserved as touchstones of our collective history.

The discussion was moderated by Dr. Stanton Belfort, Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee Southern. This insightful conversation highlighted the significance of ocean literacy in promoting knowledge sharing and the transformative impact of social media in raising awareness and advancing careers in marine science. These tools are useful in addressing UN Ocean Decade Challenge 09, which focuses on ensuring access to skills, knowledge, and technology for all, ensuring a comprehensive capacity development and equitable access to data, information, knowledge and technology across all aspects of ocean science and for all stakeholders.
