Hey, supporters;

Just wanted to share another quick "Thank You" for all of your help and support in garnering signatures for this petition.

The more and more I dig into the sordid past of the Speed Museum, the darker their legacy gets. It has become apparent to me that the Speed family's damage to the Black Community in Louisville is, unfortunately, a much deeper wound than I foresaw. 

I've been debating what to do next with this petition as I'm not sure it is gathering enough momentum for the exhibit to be cancelled. It's disheartening that despite 200+ fliers going up, talking to business owners, calling news stations, engaging strangers, and blasting social media doesn't seem to be enough. 

Plenty of people have read the petition and agreed, but didn't actually signing it. They'll agree, but don't finish the job.

I'm unsure this can be finished, but as I said earlier, it seems like there is not enough interest from the community. I've been throwing around the idea of writing a larger exposé (an essay or essays, maybe) about the Speed family's problematic history. People still deserve to know these things, even if it isn't in the context of cancelling this exhibit. Quite frankly, the museum DOES NOT CARE. No one I have spoken to there has taken any ownership or given me a good reason as to why the exhibit is justified.

If anyone has any suggestions of how to continue forward, please feel free to reach out. Otherwise, I suppose this is a sort of "to be continued?"

Thank you once more. I still have hope for this campaign to make some sort of change. Louisville's Black Community will forever deserve the Respect and Honor that the Speed Museum is so irresponsibly denying them. Please continue joining the fight, daily, against Racism in your communities. We cannot stop. We will not stop. 

This isn't a goodbye or me quitting. This is a change of course.
