Martin Luther King Weekend
MLK Day Family Art Adventure:
Monday, January 20, 1 p.m.
This family program appropriate for elementary age students and their caregivers includes close looking and conversation about Norman Rockwell’s civil rights images, reading of the new children’s book Ruby Head High: Ruby Bridges First Day of School by Irene Cohen-Janca and illustrated by Marc Daniau, and art making in response. Free for Members, children/teens 18 and under, or included with admission.
It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
