Abstract
Embarking on an adventure to tour Black museums and Civil Rights sites provides one of the best opportunities to understand history and culture. It is accomplished via an expert tour guide, site visits, as well as through documentaries, and video footage. Imagine learning from such footage about the youngest child, a 4-year-old and hearing him questioning about his participation in a Civil Rights protest; he proudly responds “for Teedom” [Freedom] that is bound to stick with you. It stuck with me so much that it became a term used in my art for brave youth involved in social justice. These acts of “Teedom” were evident throughout the Civil Rights Tour, one of the best adventures of my life.
期刊介绍：
Museum Anthropology seeks to be a leading voice for scholarly research on the collection, interpretation, and representation of the material world. Through critical articles, provocative commentaries, and thoughtful reviews, this peer-reviewed journal aspires to cultivate vibrant dialogues that reflect the global and transdisciplinary work of museums. Situated at the intersection of practice and theory, Museum Anthropology advances our knowledge of the ways in which material objects are intertwined with living histories of cultural display, economics, socio-politics, law, memory, ethics, colonialism, conservation, and public education.
