MUSEUM NEWS
2011 has been a relatively quiet year for the Museum as the curator participated in a year long sabbatical program at the Rockefeller Archive Center and the University of London. We look forward to a number of gallery events scheduled for 2012, culminating with Ms. Sallie Robinson's presentation as the 2012 Witten Lecturer.

	The Museum staff and patrons were very much moved by the thoughtful and poignant discussion by Mr. Stonewall Richburg, former principal of Booker T. Washington High School. We extend our thanks to Mr. Richburg, Dr. Littlefield, and Dean Sternberg for taking part in the Museum's 2011 Public Square Program, and we are currently editing video footage for presentation on the Museum's website.
