Telling the Whole Story: Strategies for Representation from "#1 in Civil Rights" is an AASLH Continuing Education recorded webinar. This webinar is about how the Missouri Historical Society developed practical techniques and strategies for telling the whole story. This event is presented by MHS’s Elizabeth Pickard. Most of us understand that representation is powerfully important in museums and that history organizations have a clear responsibility to build diversity and inclusion in our exhibits and interpretation.  Yet our institutions’ past collecting choices may not have been in sync with our current aspirations for inclusion.  To bridge this gap and create the acclaimed exhibit #1 in Civil Rights the African American Freedom Struggle in St. Louis, Missouri Historical Society developed practical techniques and strategies for telling the whole story. This webinar, presented by MHS’s Elizabeth Pickard, will cover the ACTivists museum theatre project, participatory field trip activities, interpreting the absence of objects, contextualizing little known episodes in our history for students, storytelling, and honoring visitor voices in adult guided experiences. Merlin Bell, an ACTivist Actor-interpreter and the Theatre Programs Assistant at the Missouri Historical Society, joins the webinar to share his perspective on the ACTivist museum theatre project and its impact on patrons and the community.
