SUMMARY:Muskegon Heritage Museum Spring Break Speaker Series - The Legacy and Impact of Black-Owned Media
DESCRIPTION:This year the Muskegon Heritage Museum of Business and Industry will again be hosting a Spring Speaker Series.  We will be looking at an exhibit in process about Black-Owned Media\, and we will also be looking at a little-known WWII salvage material.  \nBoth evenings are free to the public\, but reservations are requested and light refreshments will be provided. \nRegister here: https://bit.ly/MHMBISpringSpeakerSeries \n3/13/25The Legacy and Impact of Black-Owned Media \nJoin us at the Muskegon Heritage Museum of Business & Industry as community curators Dr. Pamela Smith and Mr. Andrew Sims share their progress and research on an upcoming exhibit on Black-Owned media platforms in Muskegon County and their importance. \nThese media platforms and their founders and stewards have had a profound impact on shaping narratives\, amplifying voices\, and driving social change in our community. This program will offer a glimpse into a developing exhibit of the stories\, struggles\, and triumphs of Black publishers\, broadcasters\, and creators who defied systemic barriers to create platforms that celebrated Black culture\, advocated for civil rights\, and redefined the media landscape in our community.  \n4/3/25\nMilkweed and WWII: Noxious Weed or Strategic Wartime Material \nJoin us\, as Andi Kantola from the Muskegon Conservation District and Wendy VanWoerkom from the Lakeshore Museum Center help guests look at the milkweed plant.  We will discuss the plant’s natural history and importance to habitats in our area.  We will also look at how it transitioned from its status with farmers as a noxious weed in the 1940’s to its wartime role as a strategic material.  Don’t miss out on this chance to hear about the contributions of Muskegon citizens to gather this most unusual salvage for the WWII effort. \n\n
