Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate

Katie Knight is the Curator of Education at the Holter Museum of Art where the exhibit originated. In her talk offered through the Humanities Montana Speakers Bureau, she tells the story of how the Montana Human Rights Network obtained 4000 books from a defecting leader of the hate group, World Church of the Creator, now known as the Creativity Movement. Forming a unique community partnership, staff from the Montana Human Rights Network, the Holter Musueum, the Lewis and Clark Library, Helena public schools, and the artists, worked together under the guidance of curator Knight to design a project that opens up a dialogue about bigotry and social justice and deepens our understanding of our vulnerability to prejudice, and our capacity to overcome it.
