Collecting Protest Materials - Past Forward at Cincinnati Museum Center

Cincinnati Museum Center is gearing up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence. As part of our Past Forward at CMC series, we'll post a handful of podcast shorts diving into topics across American history through the lens of our collections. In this episode of Past Forward, we're talking about preserving the history of one of America's oldest traditions - protest. Through protest, Americans have been making their voices heard for over 250 years. Why is documenting protests important? What do museums do to document protests throughout American history, including ones that are happening now? We'll talk to Katherine Gould, our Curator of History Objects and Fine Art, to find out.
