The TESTIFY exhibit is more than just an exploration of our history, it’s an invitation to share our stories, to learn from one another, and to seek healing, understanding, and connection. “Before reconciliation, there must be truth – and the truth can be ugly,” said Justice Page. “But we cannot reconcile and move forward if an increasingly louder group of people continue to deflect, minimize and sweep history under the rug.” The objects in the exhibit are facts: a White House brick made by enslaved people is displayed next to a gilded KKK Plate and a Civil War-era campaign banner for Abraham Lincoln that reads “Our Country Shall Be One Country.” And while these facts might make people uncomfortable, that discomfort is needed to become conscious of ‘unconscious bias,’ and learn to recognize racism. Join us to learn and reflect on the power we each have to act for causes of justice.
