The Museum of Durham History is an unaffiliated/non-partisan organization which does not advocate for or against ERA legislation. In keeping with our mission to foster curiosity, encourage further inquiry, and promote an understanding of diverse perspectives, we provide a platform for the Durham community to come together and discuss issues, welcoming civil discourse/divergent perspectives. The relevance of this topic in today’s society, as well as its relevance to our current exhibit align with the Museum’s organizational values.
