Only in liberal cities like Seattle could a museum exhibit on hate trigger more…hate. Take the latest from Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum as a prime example of this.

The Wing Luke Museum is located in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. Why did museum workers decide to walk out and take the rest of the day off last week? Because of “Zionist language” within the latest exhibit entitled “Confronting Hate Together”.

The “Confronting Hate Together” exhibit is a collaboration between the Black Heritage Society of Washington State and the Washington State Jewish Historical Society (WSJHS). From WSJHS:

Inspired by the 2022 ‘Confronting Hate 1937-1952’ exhibit at the New York Historical Society Museum and Library, Confronting Hate Together is produced in joint partnership with the Black Heritage Society of Washington State, the Washington State Jewish Historical Society and the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience around the common themes of hate experienced by each of these communities alongside community responses. While the New York Historical Society centered their exhibit around a groundbreaking multimedia campaign in 1937 to combat growing anti-Semitism before, during, and after the Holocaust, the Confronting Hate Together exhibit borrows elements of that program to create a contemporary portrayal of racism, hate and bigotry and community collective action through stories localized in this region. The goal of the exhibit is to educate communities and empower them to combat the rising tide of hate and racial violence in our communities today.”-WSJHS
