Jordan Casteel Instagram – In 1990 my grandmother Margaret Buckner Young finished her 14 years of service as the first woman of color on the Board of the @metmuseum to be present with her daughter (Mama C) and grandchildren in Denver, Colorado. I always felt incredibly close to her and that has been true even now.
It was September 14, 1967 that she was elected onto the Board of Trustees.
Yesterday, December 11, 2023 I stepped directly in her footsteps, and was elected onto the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Board of Trustees.
No one could have ever told this young free spirit that she would one day, follow the families linage back to New York. A place where, like Grams she’d dedicate her life to being in service to art and people.
I look forward to being of service by listening, learning and thoughtfully engaging. | Posted on 13/Dec/2023 00:29:57
