The National Indo-American Museum is united against racism, hatred, and violence. Our commitment to building bridges across generations and cultures is as strong as our commitment to peace, equality, and justice.
We are heartbroken and outraged by the senseless and repetitive violence against the African American community and the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor.
NIAM is committed to preserving stories of immigration.We are grateful to the activists of the civil rights era whose seminal protests led to the lifting of race-based immigration quotas and paved the way for immigrants from India who have made America their home.
Sacrifices of those leaders have led to the freedom we enjoy today.Protest is at the heart of the Indian struggle for independence. NIAM stands in solidarity with the black community's fight against police brutality and persistent racial injustice in a country that belongs equally to all of us.
All lives matter only when black lives do.
