Guilford County Commissioner and International Civil Rights Museum chair Skip Alston says he doesn’t “want people to think we are having a shortfall by any stretch of the imagination,” although the museum hasn’t reached attendance goals and is now cutting staff.
Interesting that the N&R article highlights executive director Bamidele Demerson’s experience as a curator and “museum veteran” when he’s been there for the better part of the year and now will simply take on the job of doing more with less. Still no word on what the museum will do to attract more and better exhibits, which will keep local residents coming back.
