    In the museum world, we must recognize that wisdom flows from every corner of our organizations—security, maintenance, education, curatorial. We must dip into the full reservoir of that wisdom to evolve, serve our communities and nation, and shape our shared future.

    When a group of museum specialists reached retirement, I remember a lunch where they turned to me and pointed out a painful reality: with their departure, the museum would become less diverse than it had been in 1964. That message stuck with me and has inspired me ever since.

    The indispensable museum specialists did far more than shepherd collections around and leave research to the designated staff. Over the decades, they researched, cared for, and contributed to interpretation of the collections, getting to know them intimately.

    When my career brought me to in 1989, I was lucky to befriend African American employees there who had been hired in the 1960s as "museum specialists." This was a role some might have considered menial had these men and women not completely redefined it.

    A vast crowd, Black and white, gathered that day. Before a cluster of microphones, Marian Anderson started her 1939 concert with "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." Denied a venue elsewhere by racist policies, she sang to the nation and stood up for equality. 📷:

    Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey instructed Robinson to "Wear the armor of humility" and not retaliate to racist words and actions. This jersey was his "armor" through a year in which players sometimes slid into second base with spikes high to harm him on purpose.
