Full Muster: Inclusive Histories on Historic Ships Educator's Toolkit
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum worked alongside Battleship Cove, Battleship Missouri, Battleship New Jersey, Battleship North Carolina, Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, and the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum to amplify stories of women, Black, Asian American, Latino, Indigenous American and LGBTQ+ service members in our collections. This toolkit includes resources and activities highlighting these stories in hope of expanding the capacity of museums across the U.S. to explore the contributions and complexities surrounding military service. Full Muster: Inclusive Histories on Historic Ships has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom. Access the materials here .
