Johnnetta Betsch Cole, Ph.D., shares some thoughts on her recent publication, “Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion in Museums.”
Additionally, Dr. Cole talks about how she came to major in anthropology, when art began to matter to her, and how she supported the founding of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art during her tenure as Spelman College president (1987-1997).

This conversation also features an excerpt of a recording of Dr. Cole in dialogue with current Spelman College president, Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D., which was moderated by the Museum’s director, Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Ph.D.
