Dateline has picked up my friend's niece's disappearance. She's missing from Fishers, Indiana, which is a northside suburb of Indianapolis. They think she met someone online.

In December, I traveled to Montgomery to visit the Legacy Museum, which traces the story of Black America from slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration. I wanted to understand how the museum & its affiliated sites were operating in a moment where so much of the history they present is under attack.

The Power of Private Museums
The Equal Justice Initiative’s historical sites in Montgomery, Alabama, show what’s possible when history isn’t subject to federal funding cuts or executive orders.

Rather than defaulting to secular, Western scientific frameworks, “Unbound: Art, Blackness, & the Universe” at the Museum of the African Diaspora is deeply attuned to the forces of the cosmos, leaving room for aesthetic, spiritual, and political ways of conceiving the universe.

Black Artists Create New Universes in “Unbound”
The exhibition at the Museum of the African Diaspora moves between history and futurity without settling on a singular narrative of the universe, instead prompting reflection.

Firstly, thank you! 🥰 The gold dot is a scarab symbolising rebirth. The British Museum’s famous Gayer Anderson cat has gold earrings so I presume this cat did too! See the BM’s cat on this link:

Ancient Egyptian cat figurines are often interpreted as representations of the goddess Bastet. She was associated with fertility, birth, and protection. Read more about the ancient Egyptian feline goddess Bastet on this link:
