Yesterday was a wonderful first day of exhibiting for history & coffee at #AAM2024. We debuted our interactive exhibit developed together with our partners Quatrefoil Associates. It explores national stories through the lens of Baltimore histories, with a focus on amplifying underrepresented voices.

It’s wonderful to see how Baltimore comes together around the inspirational work & lives of Elizabeth Talford Scott & Joyce J. Scott. Yesterday we visited the Peale & today the Lewis Museum (pictured) to experience their exhibitions for No Stone Left Unturned: The Elizabeth Talford Scott Initiative:
