If we truly believe in the power of cultural institutions to impact communities and engage authentically with social justice issues, if we believe in museums’ capacity to bring about social change, improve cultural awareness, and even transform the world, than we must also believe that our internal practices have an impact, and must act according to the changes we seek.

About This Quote

The idea that the actions of the museum have an impact is one that many have long known to be true. However, this idea is not often followed in practice. It is not often seen as the responsibility of the museum staff to do something to change what is happening within their museum. The idea that the museum staff should be involved in these changes is an idea that must become present in our minds if change will be realized.
