INSPIRED LEARNING This past year has been challenging for our public schools. The coming one will be, too, as the plans are actually carried out. Personally and professionally, I want to tell all teachers and administrators at every school that we at the Pink Palace Family of Museums are with you. Like you, our children are the priority. They are, after all, our children. We have a great year planned for you and for them. In February, we will open a wonderful temporary exhibit, Race: Are We So Different? It is structured around three main themes: the concept of race, the science of human variation, and the way we live with race today. You can explore the topic further with two added exhibits of our own—I AM An Icon, about the I Am A Man poster and its life beyond 1968, and In Our Own Backyard, the story of the desegregation of the Pink Palace itself. If all goes as planned—we will bring 3D capability into the CTI Theater in February. The opening film will be Flight of the Butterflies. Also, if all goes as planned, we will install full-dome theater in the planetarium in December 2014. To get a peek at full-dome theater, go to www.memphismuseums.org and watch the full dome video clip on the planetarium page. Neither the clip nor my words can do it justice. Just know that anything you can render graphically on a computer screen, which is pretty much anything, can be shown on our 50 foot wide dome. I hate having to write “if all goes as planned,” but who can understand the need better than teachers? You’ve spent more than a year planning this coming one. I hope your year and ours goes as planned and even better. Thank you for what you do for our children!

Temporary Exhibits

February 1 - May 4, 2014

We all know that people look different. Throughout history, those differences have been a source of strength, community and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression. What is race and how are we affected by it every day? Race: Are We So Different? explores the concept of race from scientific, historical and cultural perspectives. The exhibition offers a powerful look at race and racism, and challenges visitors to ask questions, think critically and talk about the issue and their own experiences.

RACE: Are We So Different? is free to Title 1 students through May 4, 2014. Reservations are required.

RACE Exhibit Programs i am an icon The phrase “I Am a Man,” was used on placards carried by the striking Memphis Sanitation Workers in 1968. Its association with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King has made it an iconic symbol throughout the world. The exhibit will feature an original “I Am A Man” placard picked up on the street on March 29, 1968 after a march. Also shown will be a stark red version of the sign with the word “Memphis” below the four main words printed by Emerson Printing in San Francisco shortly after the assassination of Dr. King and a third placard, carried after the assassination of Dr. King which reads, “Honor King, End Racism.” Ernest Withers: I Am a Man Portfolio will surround the three posters. The original poem, “I Am A Man,” by Memphian Robert Worsham, believed to be the inspiration for the marchers, will be graphically presented. TIM ROLLINS and K.O.S. Invisible Man (after Ralph Ellison), 2008 matte acrylic and book pages on canvas

Finally, a large painting entitled “IM” by artists Tim Rollins and K.O.S with stark black letters IM over the text of Ralph Ellison’s novel, Invisible Man.

In Our Own Backyard

In Our Own Backyard tells the sad but inspiring story of the segregated history of the Pink Palace Museum and the students who staged a nonviolent action which lead to their arrest and trial. Their case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court which issued an opinion that finally opened our Museum equally to all visitors.

Diversity Dialogues Pending funding

Students will visit the RACE: Are we So Different? exhibition, then gather in small groups to explore issues of race, diversity and discrimination.

RAce discovery days (see page 16)

Explore the three major themes of the travelling exhibition: the history of race in the United States, the contemporary science that is challenging common ideas about race, and the everyday experience of race in our nation. Students participate in hands-on activities.

Students will explore these elements of society to develop an appreciation and respect for the variety of human cultures. 2.0 Economics - Globalization of the economy, the explosion of population growth, technological changes and international competition compel students to understand both personally and globally production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Students will examine and analyze concepts such as basic needs versus wants, using versus saving money, and policy making versus decision-making. 3.0 Geography - Geography enables the students to see, understand and appreciate the web of relationships between people, places, and environments. Students will use the knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts within the six essential elements of geography: world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and the uses of geography. 4.0 Governance and Civics - Governance establishes structures of power and authority in order to provide order and stability. Civic efficacy requires understanding rights and responsibilities, ethical behavior, and the role of citizens within their community, nation and world. 5.0 History - History involves people, events, and issues. Students will evaluate evidence to develop comparative and causal analyses, and to interpret primary sources. They will construct sound historical arguments and perspectives on which informed decisions in contemporary life can be based. 6.0 Individual Groups and Interactions - Personal development and identity are shaped by factors including culture, groups, and institutions.
