The Brooklyn Children’s Museum has appointed the first Black male CEO in the organization’s history. Atiba T. Edwards, who visited the museum as a child, is ecstatic for the opportunity to lead as president and CEO. “Being at the helm of this storied institution as the first Children’s Museum in the world comes with a lot of excitement, a lot of expectation, a lot of opportunity, a lot of challenges,” Edwards told Brooklyn Paper . “To me, it’s just really a blessing in many ways to come full circle to a place that I grew up coming to as a child and was very formidable in my early years that helped me create this path of continuous curiosity.”
