Saturday, November 20, 2021

12:00-5:00 p.m.

The Muhammad Ali Center pleased to partner with the Frazier Museum to offer a FREE day for educators to experience exhibitions at each location that are focused on learning from our past and considering how it affects our present.

At the Muhammad Ali Center educator’s will explore Truth Be Told: The Policies that Impacted Black Lives exhibit explores policies linked to systematic racism in America, from the early 1600s to present day. Truth Be Told offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of Black people in our country that is often left out of, misinterpreted, or even falsified in our history books. It is critical that the facts of our collective American history be told, so that the negative outcomes that these policies produced can be understood, recognized, and amended.

The Frazier Museum’s West of Ninth: Race, Reckoning, and Reconciliation, offered in partnership with West of Ninth bloggers Walt and Shae Smith, uses stories from the blog as jumping off points to explore the historic roots of Louisville’s Ninth Street divide, delving into issues of race, segregation, and redlining in the city.

Educators are invited to bring a guest and welcome to explore other exhibitions offered within the museum spaces.
