Looking ahead to Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. This annual celebration means more than ever this year in light of a recent rise in anti-Asian violence in the US, Canada, and elsewhere. We invite you to start the month off right by visiting this beautiful portal into current exhibits, collections, and other materials related to Asian and Pacific American heritage. We thank the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum who joined together to create this outstanding tribute to generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who enrich America's history — and its future.
Lord Cultural Resources has been honoured to work with many great museums and cultural centers across North America preserve the history, heritage and culture of Asian Americans, including the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, and the Asia Society.

Lord and Black Artists’ Networks in Dialogue Announce New BIPOC Fellowship
Lord Cultural Resources, April 8, 2021
Canada is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, yet due to systemic racism, few of our cultural institutions reflect our diversity.
As a result, Canadians today and potential future generations are not experiencing the creative potential that Black, Indigenous, and other People of Colour (BIPOC) could bring to arts organizations, museums, and libraries as leaders; moreover BIPOC professionals are marginalized from leadership, often leaving the field and even the country to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

It’s no secret that museum collections have benefitted from the colonization of countries occupied by imperial powers such as Britain and France.
But in recent years, spurred in part by the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), there is a global push to decolonize museums.
And in Decolonizing Museums, Part 1, APTN Investigates takes a look at how that push is going in Canada – beginning with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR).

Undoing the Damage of Urban Freeways - Digital Event
Third Way, April 2, 2021
Transportation investments shape our communities — not always for the better. For decades, transportation planners invested in urban freeways that destroyed many communities of color.
