The Witte Museum isn’t the only museum revisiting how it portrays history.
“We want to make sure that as we’re telling the stories of Texas, we’re incorporating everyone who calls himself a Texan now,” said Michelle Everidge, Witte Museum’s chief of strategic initiatives. “Larger stories, more inclusive stories, even different stories, we’re talking about growing with the times.”
“The reality is we had to re-look at what we were about, and what we were about to become,” McDermott said.“Nonetheless, there’s so much more work to do,” she said. The Witte’s newest exhibition in the works, “Texas Origins,” will try to bring a personal dimension to history.Everidge said if they don’t see themselves, the histories will be less meaningful and little is learned.
