Marsh comments on the National Law Enforcement Museum failing
Amanda Albright writing for Bloomberg reports on the National Law Enforcement Museum’s brawl to capture visitors even when it counted on its high-profile backer’s fundraising prowess. Since opening, it has only attracted approximately 15,000 visitors and in order to survive, the National Law Enforcement Museum needs 20 times that number. The museum convened on an advisory board composed of academics, religious leaders and consultants to ensure it reflected different perspectives and minority communities’ issues about discrimination and arrests of innocent people. However, recent visitors had claimed that the institution does not include the perspective of people victimized by police officers. Faculty Associate Kris Marsh comments on this; “If the choir is talking to the choir, you’re not pushing the conversation forward”.
