'Confronting Hate Together' will finally be displayed, but not at the Wing Luke Museum
"Confronting Hate Together" will return, but won't be held the Wing Luke Museum where a controversy surrounding the exhibit emerged earlier this year. Instead, the Washington State Jewish Historical Society will present the exhibit at an event in September for "the Jewish community alongside our friends and allies." "Immense harm has been caused to the Jewish community by not being able to show the exhibit," the group said in a statement. "The anti-Jewish ideas and attitudes that fueled the (Wing Luke Museum) employee walkout (whether conscious or not) have yet to be adequately acknowledged. And, at the same time, the greater Seattle community will be deprived of an important cross-cultural educational opportunity."
