Since its inception in 1978, the Apex Museum in Atlanta has been dedicated to black history, reporting a “lasso rope” was found in a tree, information from the museum’s president and CEO Dan Moore Jr. The apex Museum said the rope was “deemed not to be considered a ‘lasso’ by the Department of Homeland Security, and has since been evacuated from there for evidence.”
Moore wrote in his message: “For the black community in America, noose is a symbol of horror, representing lynching, hatred, racial violence, racial violence and a system that once publicly approved the murder of white people in order to enforce white supremacy. A museum dedicated to black lives and the rich was placed next to the museum, so much so that…because it is such a person, so much as a person, so much as to…because it is such an attitude that…because it is an action…for the present, the violence of our country’s past may be conceived.”
He added: “Museums are the anchors of memories of our communities, our nations and the world. They represent our judgment, victory, grief, hope, hope, journey, evolution, our hearts and spirits. These institutions or nearby symbols of hatred are a dangerous attitude that blends people’s work, pain, attitudes, and attitudes that are interested in the efforts of the pain that have been made to those who have been involved in the survival and are able to reflect efforts to the survivors for the future.”
Currently listed exhibitions at the Apex Museum include “Sweet Auburn: The Proud Street” (about the sweet Auburn Historic District where the institution lives) and “Africa: Untold Stories”, “Maafa: Maafa: The African Holocaust”, “Women in STEM” and “The Greatest Ideal Black! Black!” Black and its inventions.
