Ways to Support ABHM?
Lanetta Greer of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, fosters ten troubled teenaged girls AND is finishing her PhD dissertation AND teaches social work part time at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Ms. Greer sees a connection between the betrayal and trauma her girls experienced and the lynching that James Cameron experienced at sixteen. He was nearly beaten to death by people he knew and, with the rope already tightening around his neck, was miraculously spared a hanging.
In this 1.5 minute video, Lanetta shares her thoughts about giving such a generous donation.
We at ABHM are more than a little grateful on this day of thanksgiving for Lantetta’s generosity to us and her ongoing contributions to our community. You go, girl!

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.
