We STILL Dream a Future: Reclaiming Our Humanity

We STILL Dream a Future: Reclaiming Our Humanity

March 5, 2026 - May 9, 2026

Reception: March 5, 2026

This exhibition is framed through a chronological time line. The museum is a multi-sensory, interdisciplinary approach that uses authentic artifacts (primary resources), storyboards, and the ancient art of storytelling. The museum is framed through four segments: Mother Africa, U.S. Chattel Slavery, the Jim Crow Era, and Still, We Rise (focusing on African American inventors and inventions). Mr. Richardson believes that the connection with the past can guide ones’ present and future.

Artist Bio

Mr. Delbert Richardson was born to Joshua and Lucile Richardson in Detroit, Michigan in 1954, the same year as the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision that desegregated schools across the United States. Mr. Delbert Richardson relocated to Seattle, Washington, with his family at the age of 9. He attended Franklin High School and the University of Washington in 1973, studying Business Administration and finished with a BA from Antioch University-Seattle in Liberal Arts with a focus on International Social Justice in 2016. For years, he worked as a buyer. After finding his passion, Mr. Richardson evolved into a Community Scholar, ethnomuseumologist, and Second-Generation Storyteller of the “Unspoken Truths” National Award-Winning American History Traveling Museum. Starting his collection over 30 years ago, his work has now evolved into a tool whose primary purpose is to change the world one person’s consciousness at a time.
