Voices for Social Justice Exhibit, Panel Discussion at the KVM

A new exhibit, “Voices for Social Justice,” will be displayed at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum from Oct. 4, 2014 to Jan. 19, 2015. The KVM and Southwest Michigan Black Heritage Society are working together to continue the community conversation about race, equity, and social justice in this exhibit based on oral histories of contemporary residents of Kalamazoo.

A panel presentation and discussion featuring some of the people interviewed for this project will be held at the Museum on Sunday, October 5 at 1:30. Refreshments will be served, and admission is free.

In this oral history project, several Kalamazoo residents speak about their work, ideals, hopes, and dreams for a Kalamazoo community that fully embraces social justice. What does an equitable society look like? Find out what a few of your neighbors think, and participate in the conversation!

This project is a joint effort of the Southwest Michigan Black Heritage Society's Racial Healing Initiative and the Kalamazoo Valley Museum.

The Kalamazoo Valley Museum is operated by Kalamazoo Valley Community College and is governed by its Board of Trustees.
