Some of my earliest memories are of watching TV with my mother as she, a member of Shaw College’s womens basketball team, cheered Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics. She would say “Russell can do it.” And he usually did.

Today would have been Judy Garland’s 100th birthday.

The Ruby Slippers she wore in the 1939 MGM film “Wizard of Oz” are one of our museum’s most popular objects.

History is part of how we collectively remember, but key moments in history can go unaccounted for or even be silenced.

Communities across the country have fought to have their stories told using historical evidence, commemorative markers, personal accounts, and museum exhibits.
