As museums evolve to reflect the full diversity of cultural expression, they have the opportunity to tell richer, more inclusive stories about our shared heritage. This session will explore how the National Museum of African American Music embraces this mission by highlighting the vital contributions of African Americans to the development of American music—especially country music. Participants will gain perspective on how embracing diversity can shape institutional identity, broaden audiences, and redefine the museum experience.
Featured Speaker:
William Jefferies, Director, National Museum of African American Music
