[Nhcoll-l] Get Involved | 15-21st October | BlackInNHMs week

[Flemming,Adania]

Hello everyone,

We would like to announce the 3rd Annual BlackInNHMs week will take place on Sunday 15th October to Saturday 21st October 2023. We need your support because diversifying our spaces is crucial to the sustainability and relevance of natural history museums.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we are a grassroots organization of dedicated professionals (curators, professors, collections managers, graduate students and communication specialists) building the infrastructure from the ground up to engage and create a community for Black folks who are in, were in, or interested in being in NHMs. We are asking that everyone including natural history museums and collections actively support this initiative in whatever way you can (volunteer, participate etc.). We want the voices, opinions, and stories of Black people to be heard, reflected and respected in Natural history museums. And we want you to help us make it happen. Learn more about us here: https://www.blackinnhms.org/

In addition to supporting our non-profit generally, we have identified 3 ways to help as we plan our upcoming 2023 annual event (Oct 15-21):

  *   1. Fundraising (individual donations or helping with fundraising infrastructure)
  *   2. Helping plan our annual event (before, during and after)
  *   3. Networking and Promotion (help to promote BINHMs, share information to networks and other spaces)

If you can support BlackinNHMs in any of these ways please complete this 2-minute survey (https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dpamD4wNwpvw4ES). We will follow up with you thereafter.

Please share widely!

Thank you,
Black In Natural History Museums Board,
Adania Flemming, Alnycea Blackwell, Brianna Mims, Hadeel Saad, Hank Bart, Janet Buckner, Jessica Ware, Leanne Melbourne, and Nicole Cannarozzi
