“Still Flies in the Buttermilk? The Struggle for Diversity in Museums,” Chair, New England Museum Association (NEMA) Annual Conference, 2008
Search for literature on diversity and museums and you’ll inevitably get a reference to “Flies in the Buttermilk,” the essay by Lonnie Bunch (now director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture) on the struggle for diversity in the museum profession. Since that article’s publication in 2000, are museum staff members of color still flies in the buttermilk? With the creation of the Committee for Diversity in Museums in 2004, the American Association of Museum’s first new standing professional committee in 20 years, now is a good time to reflect on where we are, as New England museums, on how our staffing practices mirror the push to appeal to diverse audiences, and how we are developing a new generation of leaders to reflect the balance that we seek.
Chair: Simone Monique Barnes, EdM, Visiting Administrative Fellow, Assistant Curator, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, MA
