Black in Natural History Museums

Black in Natural History Museums Week is an initiative to share the stories, perspectives & knowledge of Black people in the NHM community.

The stories of Black scientists are often overlooked & untold.

Thus, #BlackInNHMs is proud to share the stories of 17 Black people, who contributed to natural history, with our FIRST exhibit!

It was produced in partnership with @FloridaMuseum. Stay tuned for more info below👇🏿
