21. Everyday is Black HIStory: Reflections of the Past, Present, and Future with Lance Wheeler
As we close out black history month, this podcast episode will discuss everyday moments in black history. The reflections of the past, present, and future. What better person can share these stories other than Lance Wheeler, a public historian and community curator with years of experience sharing the everyday stories of African American history and culture. Lance is the Director of Exhibitions at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, previously served as the Education & PR Manager for the Margaret Walker Center & COFO Civil Rights Education Center at Jackson State University and served as the inaugural Curator of Exhibitions at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. In those roles, he used exhibitions to create dialogue around civil and human rights history to help bridge the events from the past to current issues in the 21st century. Lance believes, “At its simplest form, museums are more than buildings that house artifacts; museums are and should be places that take individuals on a spiritual journey bridging the past with the present and beyond.”
