    What I love about older museums apart from their exhibits is the architecture, specifically in the matter of their acoustics.
    The reverberations from the hard stone surfaces give me a sense of a space for quiet contemplation, unhindered by matters spiritual necessarily.

      That sound you hear is called “striving for perfection”. Striving for perfection is now a white priviledge thing according to BLM.

    What makes communities hurt so much that they need a healing process?

      Democrat policies. They incentivize the breakup of the nuclear family. Having no father in the home is directly correlated with crime in the community.

      please be aware that the other commenter is referencing an outdated paper called the moynihan report that discredited the civil rights movement of the 60s by purporting that black families simply need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps compared to the “success” of asian immigrants. the report is flawed in that it disregards the unique climates, treatment, and (dis)placement that resulted in both groups living in the US under rather different conditions (the african diaspora thru slavery and systemic disenfranchisement versus selective asian immigration policies that favored workers, educated professionals, and refugees). for your question, the hardships of poverty, unemployment, families being affected by death and hospital bills, and increasingly extreme weather events are surely sources of community suffering felt worldwide

      @Jesse Steiner Negative. I blame the Democrats for holding them down and INCENTIVIZING the destruction of the family.
      And btw. More Republicans voted for the civil rights act.

      @Jesse SteinerDid I say anything about black people. No. You did. I said there is no fathers in the home and you automatically jump to the black community.
      That’s racist. I’m done with you. I dont talk to racists.

      War, uprising, racism, corruption and issues with Indigenous like the Stolen Generation in Australia . In Australia museums have become a way to expose what has happened to Indigenous people as a way to create understanding and empathy.

    The Democrats have to stop Trump or they go to jail for crimes against children, drug running and working with China to seel us out.

      @Hayden H, go figure about the crimes against children of Trump with immigrant kids being “lost track” during the corona crisis.

      @Schio Alves Child trafficking is one of main reasons we are building a wall. You’re a patriot and want to protect kids of course.
