And I bring this up because it's important to locate this practice in history. To look at 1968, in the incredible historic moment that it is, and think of the arc that has happened since then, to think of the possibilities that we are all privileged to stand in today and imagine that this museum that came out of a moment of great protest and one that was so much about examining the history and the legacy of important African-American artists to the history of art in this country like Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Romare Bearden.
Lo traigo a colación porque es importante situar esta práctica en la historia, remontarse a 1968 al momento histórico increíble que es, y pensar en todo lo sucedido desde entonces, pensar en lo privilegiados que somos por las posibilidades de hoy, e imaginar este museo que surgió en un momento de grandes protestas, en el que se examinó la historia y el legado de importantes artistas afro-estadounidenses para la historia del arte de este país, como Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Romare Beardon.
