American Museum of Natural History’s Post

Save the date! The Museum is hosting the 2025 Black In Natural History Museums Convening on October 13–14.   This is an opportunity for local students, researchers, and faculty across the natural sciences and anthropology to network and learn about the exciting work currently conducted by Black scientists, curators, and educators in museums. The convening will include presentations by researchers, including a Ph.D. candidate at the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School, and a keynote speech from the Museum President Sean Decatur. While you’re here, you can also see the exhibition Black in Natural History Museums on Floor 3. Explore the stories of 17 modern and historical Black scientists, artists, and curators in natural history.   Registration for the convening is required, but there are no fees to attend.

  • Text reads Black in Natural History Museums, and a timeline indicating 1600s and 1700s, with panels about naturalists from those eras.

Sounds like a great event! There are so many Black scientists who have been overlooked in history who need to get the recognition they deserve! The Ohio STEM Role Model Project is working to address this by telling stories of trailblazers in STEM who have been overlooked.
