To foster a more just and humane society, we provide safe spaces to remember and preserve even the most traumatic memories and enable visitors to make connections between the past and related contemporary human rights issues. We are the ones we have been waiting for. We believe that everyone must repair and redress the systemic injustices of the past. The museum is committed to creative strategies that build the social and cultural capital of public housing residents, and developing alternative economies that are more equitable.
