Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.

This #Juneteenth, we celebrate the museum educators who do the crucial work of cultivating, preserving, and sharing the history of Black struggle, liberation, and life in the United States. We hope today brings encouragement and fuel for the work ahead.
The MER logo, stylized quotation marks, appears with the colors of the Pan-African flag. Underneath the quotation marks are the words, "Juneteenth: Freedom Day".

The spring issue of the Journal of Museum Education is available now! Go to www.museumedu.org/journal/ to preview volume 50, issue 1: Civic Wellness.
A graphic with the words, "Journal of Museum Education | 50.1: Civic Wellness" along the left edge, as if printed on the spine of a publication. The main focus of the graphic depicts a small crowd of various body types in silhouette, listening to an educator in silhouette, who is gesturing toward a reproduction of Henry Louis Stephens' untitled watercolor of an older Black man with white hair, wearing red, white, and blue clothes, reading a newspaper with the headline, "Presidential Proclamation/Slavery". In the foreground is the silhouette of a young boy sitting on a bench, reading a book, beside the Museum Education Roundtable logo, which consists of the name of the organization alongside stylized quotation marks.
