The Winnipeg-based Canadian Museum for Human Rights is on the other side. "(It was) the worst case of legal destruction of the rich heritage that I have had the misfortune to witness," Leigh Syms, a former archeology curator at the nearby Manitoba Museum, said in the book The Idea of a Human Rights Museum. "He had never even been on the board of governors of a museum, didn't know anything about human rights," Busby said. Exhibits about Canadian and Indigenous human rights remained closed for a few weeks. Thiané Diop, who said she started the hashtag #cmhrstoplying because the Canadian Museum for Human Rights failed to respond to allegations of racism within the institution, is pictured against the exterior of the museum.
