The Shaker Historical Society has a treasure trove of objects and materials related to the North Union Shakers and Van Sweringen brothers, but what about the rest of Shaker Heights’ history? How can SHS properly serve our community if time periods, stories, and people aren’t represented in our collections?

Join Brianna Treleven, Executive Director of the Shaker Historical Society, and Angel Chapman, Executive Director of NewONEShaker, for an honest discussion about the lack of representation at SHS and the work NewONEShaker is doing to address gaps in equity and diversity in our community. Angel will also talk about upcoming opportunities and ways YOU can become involved in this important community work.
