Request from Stephanie Somer - Protect the National Museum of African American History and Culture
Quote from terri_f on December 2, 2025, 8:00 amI’m sorry I can’t join you on Thursday for the final discussion and Marianne Budde’s lecture.
On a related note, I have a request for action—a fairly simple one- that relates to our book study. I classmate of mine from UPenn is a civil rights oral historian with work in the National Museum of African American History and Culture. As you might know, the current administration has threatened to dismantle many projects connected to the Museum and even the entire institution. My classmate has asked the wider community to read a brief outline regarding proposed cuts and sign a petition: https://www.americashistorysos.org/.
Please read and sign to protect this precious institution.
Thank you.
Stephanie
