Converge Media: Northwest African American Museum Highlights Local Changemakers in Recent Exhibit

“While being surrounded by incredibly impactful pillars of Seattle’s community, Marcus Harden hopes that young people will realize they don't need to look to distant figures, but rather to the people in their own communities who are making a difference, and understand that they too can be the next person to shape history. The long-term vision is for a dynamic exhibit that expands beyond the speaker's personal connections to include youth, elders, and others doing important work, emphasizing community strength and the hero in all of us.
