For centuries, Black artists across the African diaspora have been architects of cultural innovation, resilience, and transformation. Their art, music, literature, and activism have profoundly shaped the world. But behind these celebrated figures stands another equally vital force: the Black collector. These keepers of history and culture play a crucial role in preserving artifacts, stories, and legacies that define Black life. They safeguard rare books, heirlooms, art, and ephemera that might otherwise be lost, ensuring future generations can access these narratives. Keepers of a Movement honors these individuals whose passion and dedication illuminate our heritage and identity. Each collection showcases a unique perspective, offering a deeper understanding of history. Visitors will also hear fromcollectors about their personal connections to theworks featured. More than objects, these collections represent lives, communities, and movements— ensuring that Black voices are heard, remembered, and celebrated for generations to come.

Her award-winning book Brooklyn on My Mind: Black Artists from the WPA to the Present was released in November 2018. Dr. Myrah resides in New York City.
