“I personally have never trusted museums. ... It is because museums, broadly speaking, live off of the art and artifacts of others, often art and artifacts that have been obtained by dubious means.

Artifacts only, please. Black artists? Something musical, maybe? And so forth.” MeanHas BeensArtArtistBlackPleaseMajorsMusicalIndianMuseumsChicagoTrustedHungManipulateNever TrustDubiousArtifactsWoman Artist Author:Alice Walker
