The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History will initiate a proactive collecting effort that directly invites individuals who are Jews of Color and organizations that represent Jews of Color to offer objects, documents, art, photographs, and associated stories for donation to the Museum’s collection. This is an effort to ensure that JoC experiences are meaningfully represented in the Museum, which shares vibrant, varied, and true stories of American Jewish life throughout the nation’s history. To guide this effort and help select which items to bring into the Museum’s collection, The Weitzman will convene an advisory board of Jews of Color to support their efforts as well as have a JoC on the leadership team responsible for reaching out and connecting JoC communities nationally.
