“The California African American Museum in South Los Angeles wanted to showcase the history of its community through its exhibits. However, I soon noticed that the most relevant stories were not found within the museum's holdings, but hidden in basements, attics, and churches. To tell these stories, the museum and curators like me had to rely on local outside experts and community archivists within Los Angeles’s Black community to support the museum in gathering exhibition information, artifacts, and narratives to fill those gaps – therefore recentering omitted narratives.”
