Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement Of Principle

The Hoboken Historical Museum sees diversity, inclusion, and equity as connected to our mission and critical to promote the well-being of our staff, board, volunteers, and the communities we serve.

We take the broadest possible view of diversity and value the visible and invisible qualities that contribute to the dignity of every person.

The Hoboken Historical Museum is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization, and to supporting an empathetic and resilient community.

We are committed to diversity in all staff, board, volunteers, audiences, and membership. 

We are committed to equitable treatment and elimination of discrimination in all its forms at all organizational levels and throughout all programs.

We are committed to ensuring that our programming both respects the diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences of our community and presents the story of our community’s history in diverse and racially inclusive ways.

We are committed to continually strengthening and evaluating our DEI efforts and to exploring underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness.

We will strive to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in every aspect of our organization, and to recognize and address inequities in our policies, programs, and services.

The Hoboken Historical Museum respects and welcomes varied perspectives from the community as well as members, donors, and employees.
