Hi, I am Almedina Lozic, I work as a collections manager at the War Childhood Museum in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Hello, I'm listed as Michael Rose, but I'm Paul Crater, VP of Collections and Research Services at the Atlanta History Center

Hi, this is Jason Crabill, with a team from the Ohio History Connection.

Hi Good morning, this is Rosa and LCC staff.

Dear Almedina My name is Prabal Thapa, I am from Nepal. I have witnessed the 10 years long conflict of Nepal (from 1996-2006), the Maoist Conflict . I want to share my experience as a small kid of that time; how the maoist cadres used to visit our places for shelther and space to prepare their food. Can I participate in your campaign/this platform? if yes how?

Thank you Linda

For Almedina: how are you linking the experience of these immigrants and refugees to current narratives and policies that lack empathy and criminalize?

This is LCC staff

Regarding your rack card or any ways you reach out to people to share the fact that you have a collections initiative did you start surveying and asking if they want to talk about that topic? Were they given a range of topics? Once you narrowed down the topic how do you get the word out that you are looking for stories and items for your collection?

we can not hear.

Gwen, I had heard Melanie Adams speak several years ago about the work that the Missouri Historical Society had done in Ferguson and other surrounding communies in the years before the MIchael Brown situation occured. Can you talk about that and how those pre-developed relationships impacted your efforts?

To Gwen and Linda: To either Linda or Gwen, can you describe the outreach activities you engaged in or will engage in to augment your collection with relevant artifacts? Was there an outreach plan in place, or was it a matter of the MHS being so well known in those communities, having a history of exhibitions, programming that related the concerns of the community that your brand was well known enough to have established trust within those communities?

Gwen can you talk about the work of MHS and the work of Shakia G and the work at Soldiers Memorial?

This is Whitney Tucker MHS SMMM
