Museums offer a space for people to learn about the past and consider the implications for the future. That’s especially valuable for subjects that are difficult or complex.
As part of the African American Museum of Iowa’s current exhibition, “Racist Things: Hateful Imagery in the American Home,” the museum team is hosting a new monthly series called Coffee Conversations. The gatherings are part of the new First Saturday programs at the museum’s newly renovated space in Cedar Rapids, and they’re designed to facilitate open conversations and learning around the exhibit’s difficult themes.
