History in the Making with Cheryl Finley, Ph.D., and Tyree Boyd-Pates

In the midst of California’s "Safer at Home" Emergency Order, I enjoyed going Instagram-Live (IG-Live) with the @auc_artcollective about how to make history during the quarantine, mainly how museums can rise to the occasion to meet the pandemic head-on!

This IG-Live was special because, although I wasn't able to attend Morehouse, I have a deep passion in investing into HBCUs - especially young Black men. So, showing the next generation that curation is possible, is necessary.

Glad to be able to reach back and share these opportunities with them. Special s/o to all that tuned in as well. Onward + upward

Enjoy the hour long conversation below:

Being a historian on Black culture and thriving in the museum world, Tyree has a perspective towards art that allows him to produce exhibitions with a unique richness and depth. In this conversation with Dr. Finley, you'll hear more about his work alongside Naima Keith while at CAAM, his desire to create a pipeline for Black men and women in the museum world, and his plans for the Autry Museum of the American West.
