This Learning Lab collection was created by a student, Melina Watson, Spelman College Class of 2023, in the summer 2021 Smithsonian Affiliate Digital Learning and Engagement Internship, in partnership with Emerson Collective and the Museum Center at 5ive Points, a Smithsonian Affiliate.

I want to acknowledge that this Learning Lab Collection was created throughout the summer on the Indigenous lands of the following:

Manahoac, Catawba, Sugaree, Lumbee, Chesapeake, and Muscogee / Creek

I make this acknowledgment as a first step in my responsibility to critically examine local and regional histories and the present-day implications to pay respect to the original inhabitants of these lands.
