The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis faced criticism last week for offering what was labeled as a “Juneteenth watermelon salad” in their food court.
“As a museum, we apologize and acknowledge the negative impact that stereotypes have on communities of color,” the statement read. “The salad has been removed from the menu. We are currently reviewing how we may best convey these stories and traditions during this year’s Juneteenth celebration as well as making changes around how future food selections are made by our food service provider.”
To conclude the statement, the museum said, “We resolve to do better, and continue bringing all voices forward in our work.” “We understand how this appears with no context and we apologize,” the response continued. “We are pulling it from our food court immediately until the sign is ready to accompany it.”The Children's Museum of Indianapolis/Facebook
