Yesterday was a wonderful first day of exhibiting for history & coffee at #AAM2024. We debuted our interactive exhibit developed together with our partners Quatrefoil Associates. It explores national stories through the lens of Baltimore histories, with a focus on amplifying underrepresented voices.

Aha! Thanks so much
I am also wondering who that is!

Hey #baltimore + #history sky, I'm working on an exhibit & want to ask if this image brings up narratives for anyone. I'm thinking Mfume & Schaefer standing beside each other (+ rivalry) is the main interpretive opportunity but wondering if you see other strands to expand for an interactive exhibit:

A screenshot of direct messages received on TikTok, timestamped "Yesterday 7:39 PM." The first message states: "Hi, I just wanted to thank you for your content. I'm the caretaker for both of my grandparents (adopted parents). My pawpaw is a retired history teacher and we watch your content daily. He loves it so much. He said, and I quote, 'that's a fine young man.'" The second message states: "It might not seem like much but that is HIGH praise coming from him."
