I write this piece in good faith about the organizations I know best: museums. The vast majority of American museums are institutions of white privilege. The popular reference point for what a museum is--a temple for contemplation--is based on a Euro-centric set of myths and implies a white set of behaviors.

That is more curated.

Which has more social impact: the place frequented by educated art lovers or the one populated by blue collar joes?

In the museum world, we often talk about lowering barriers to entry, helping people get through the door. And so today we look at an educational facility (not a museum) that swabs the deck with these barriers. A tutoring center is even more stereotyped than a museum in terms of the public's expectation about who it is "for."
