Confronting Hate Together: Exhibit at Wing Luke Museum
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 — Friday, June 21, 2024
Wing Luke Museum, Seattle
What does racism, hate and bigotry look like today? What strategies can communities take to combat it? These questions and more are posed by the powerful and compelling Confronting Hate Together, a pop-up exhibit that explores hate, bigotry, antisemitism, and racism in our community through a local and regional lens. The exhibit opens May 21, and runs through June 21, 2024. Inspired by the 2022 “Confronting Hate 1937-1952” exhibit at the New York Historical Society Museum and Library, Confronting Hate Together is produced in partnership by the Black Heritage Society of Washington State, the Washington State Jewish Historical Society, and the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience. https://www.wingluke.org/upcoming
