The City of Bellevue has partnered with museum creator, community scholar, and second-generation storyteller Delbert Richardson to share a virtual adaptation of his national award-winning “American History Traveling Museum: The Unspoken Truths.” The traveling museum is a collection of artifacts and information detailing elements of the history of racism in the U.S. and the Pacific Northwest. The exhibits share the experiences and innovations of the Black community. Visitors to this virtual experience can engage with and explore a virtual Unspoken Truths collection in much the same way they would in person. Through artifacts, Richardson takes us through the eras of early African innovation, chattel slavery, the Jim Crow racial caste system in the United States, and shows just some examples of the inventions by Black Americans we still use every day. The virtual museum is uniquely designed to be interactive and highly accessible, enabling visitors to discover Black history through a guided tour or on their own path through the virtual museum.
