August 09, 2024 Sandra Day O'Connor Institute for American Democracy

We are pleased to take a new look at this conversation with Dr. Spencer Crew, in which he discusses the importance of making African American history accessible to the public. Art and documents in a museum can be an important way to experience and understand cultures in new ways. 

Dr. Spencer Crew has worked in public history institutions for more than twenty-five years. He served as president of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center for six years and worked at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution for twenty years. From 2019 to 2020, he served as the interim director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture as the Smithsonian conducted a nationwide search for a permanent director. Today, he serves as the Robinson Professor of U.S. History at George Mason University.
