Equity Statement
The Museum of the American Railroad is dedicated to actively pursuing diversity in leadership, programming, exhibits, collections interpretation, and events which advance inclusion and racial equality in the North Texas community and beyond.
We are committed to exploring American railroad history and technology through programming which focuses on the diverse workforces that built rail lines, the individuals that worked in the rail industry at large, the people that rode the rails, the communities that sprang up because of the railroad, and the diverse cultural exchanges that took place because of the freedom of movement brought about by the railroad.
The Museum is also committed to engaging in dialogue and employing programming, interpretation and exhibits that address inequality, injustice, and racism throughout history. The Museum will continue to work closely with other North Texas cultural institutions and experts to present broader, more inclusive interpretation of railroad history, oftentimes using the Museum's collection as tangible examples.
The Museum is grateful for the opportunity to use its collections as teaching tools that will help work toward a more just, equal society.
