For release in late June 2013: An anthology about the history of lynching compiled by ABHM staff for Biblioboard.com. It will be available in libraries around the world and to individual consumers using iPads and, eventually, other tablets.

Please come meet and mingle with our International Advisors, Volunteers, Donors, and Other VIPs!

Comments Are Welcome

Note: We moderate submissions in order to create a space for meaningful dialogue, a space where museum visitors – adults and youth –– can exchange informed, thoughtful, and relevant comments that add value to our exhibits.

Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech. Commercial promotions, impersonations, and incoherent comments likewise fail to meet our goals, so will not be posted. Submissions longer than 120 words will be shortened.
